Kevin Dean was one of Herbert Armstrong’s stewards on the jet, worked at Imperial Schools, SEP summer camps, and some other offices in Pasadena. In 2012 while waiting for trial for molestation, he cut his ankle tracker off and headed off to Mexico, with assistance from friends and some say, family, who all covered up where he was. Another sad legacy of the Church of God.
Here is Dean appearing in one of Herbert Armstrong’s propaganda films.
A Kennesaw man already serving 20 years for child molestation was sentenced to 25 more years for similar crimes in Cobb County, the District Attorney’s Office said Thursday.
Kevin Owen Dean, 70, pleaded guilty Wednesday to eight counts of child molestation and three counts of aggravated child molestation for acts committed beginning in 2000 when the girl was 4 years old, the DA’s office said. Dean abused the girl until she was 14, according to investigators, and the molestation escalated over the years.
In 2010, the victim disclosed the abuse, and her mother contacted Cobb police. In a forensic interview, the teen told investigators Dean had abused her at two residences in Cobb and at his Marietta office, the DA’s office said.

In 2010, the victim disclosed the abuse, and her mother contacted Cobb police. In a forensic interview, the teen told investigators Dean had abused her at two residences in Cobb and at his Marietta office, the DA’s office said.
Dean initially denied everything, but eventually admitted to investigators that he had shown pornography to the victim and given and received oral sex with her, according to prosecutors. Dean also stated he was a former teacher and should have known better.
At Dean’s home, investigators found toys and videos the victim had described. In September 2010, Dean was charged with numerous counts of child molestation and sexual battery, records show.
When the investigation revealed Dean also abused the victim in a Cartersville office, he was also charged in Bartow County.
In 2012 while awaiting trial in both counties, Dean cut off his ankle monitor and fled the country, the Cobb DA’s office said. He evaded capture for seven years until U.S. marshals caught up with him in Mexico in 2019 and he was returned to the United States.
Later that year, Dean pleaded guilty to child molestation in Bartow. He has been serving that sentence at Jenkins Correctional Institute, according to the Georgia Department of Corrections.
Since the allegations against Dean went public, three other women have said he molested them in the 1980s in California. Dean was then a church pastor, a principal, and ran a summer camp, according to the Cobb DA’s office.
The victims addressed the court Wednesday before Dean was sentenced, with one of the California victims calling the Cobb victim “a hero” for speaking up.
Cobb Superior Court Judge Ann Harris sentenced Dean to 25 years to serve in prison without the possibility of parole, plus life on probation.

What is so shocking about this is there is nothing shocking about it these days.
In the 1950s and even much of the 1960s, this would be outrageous! It would shock everyone’s sensibilities. It would be like the 1960s movie audience coming to see the Sound of Music and getting the Exorcist instead.
But today with burning, looting and murder, violence, destruction of cities by Antifa and Black Lives Matter, some how justified by… ?!, it just seems that the shock has worn off. Four years of nonstop attacks against the President of the United States who was impeached twice? Imagine that in the time of President Dwight Eisenhauer, back when J. Edgar Hoover had a reputation of the uncorruptible head of the FBI. These days, the FBI, CIA, NSA have fallen into disrepute with good reason. No one is shocked at the corruption of the President, Congress, the Deep State or the Judicial System, not to mention corporatists and hired education.
Herbert Armstrong committed incest with his own daughter for the first ten years of his ministry? So what? Boozing alcoholic gambling GTA date raping 200 coeds? Meh. Murders in the CoGs? Who cares?
If we didn’t know better, we’d suspect that that moral outrage has been anaesthetised. There’s no such things as morals or standards any more. There are no consequences to anything anyone does for any reason.
Kevin Dean? Shocker?
Nah. It’ll be fine.
Where do you stand? And what are you willing to stand for?
all these WCG ministers was supposed to have the Holy Spirit ???????
