SEX ROMP VICAR TELLS TEEN LOVER AT 18: ‘NOW WE ARE LEGAL!’

-

NICKED: Joshua Clemons bedded teen from church ( A VICAR had a sexual relationsh­ip with a high school student, finally giving the teenager a card on her 18th birthday that said: “We’re legal.”

Joshua Clemons, 35, has now been arrested for sexual assault on a child by a person in position of trust and is awaiting trial.

Clemons is believed to have sexually assaulted three victims between 2008 and 2017, all members of the same youth organisati­on.

Police records claimed that married Clemons had an affair with the teen victim “that included sexual intercours­e” when she was still 17.

On her 18th birthday he gave her a card that said “we’re legal”, say court documents.

Clemons and the woman continued their relationsh­ip after she graduated from Cross Roads Community Church in Parker, Colorado, and enrolled at the state university.

The victim eventually told authoritie­s that Clemons continued to visit her every day so that they could carry on having sex.

On one occasion Clemons even went to a chemist to buy the morning-after pill for his young victim and forced her to take it.

The relationsh­ip ended last year but the woman claims that he began stalking her and showing up at her new church, and she’d had to threaten him with a restrainin­g order.

At a retreat for her new church in October, the woman shared details about the relationsh­ip for the first time.

A person listening alerted police out of fear he was still involved with underage girls.
