UCG man pleads not guilty to sexually abusing a Grand Forks 12-year-old

A UCG man plead not guilty this week to sexually abusing a Grand Forks 12-year-old.

*Robert David Teitgen, 52, is facing three charges of gross sexual imposition and one charge of luring a minor by a computer.

According to court documents, Grand Forks police received a tip on a suspected child abuse report that a 12-year-old ‘Jane Doe’ told her older brother she had been “molested” by Teitgen.

The father of the minor told police that he and his son then found sexually inappropriate texts, photos and videos on his daughters cell phone.

The minor was interviewed last June 25, 2020, when she told investigators that Teitgen had sexually assaulted her on multiple occasions, including while she was sleeping. Photos were also located on Teitgen’s Facebook account that appeared to show him exposing himself to her, according to court documents. Similar photos that appear to be screenshots of a live video chat between Teitgen and the minor were also located.

Teitgen is next scheduled to appear for a final dispositional conference on May 27.

  • He is the son of the late UCG minister named Herb Teitgen. He is also attended UCG’s, Ambassador Bible Center and worked briefly for LifeNets.

Just what do you mean by apostle?

Qualifications of an Apostle

  • An apostle as defined strictly by the New Testament, no longer exists today, since these three conditions had to be met:
  • The person had to have been an eyewitness to Jesus after his resurrection (1 Corinthians 9:1);
  • Had to have been chosen by the Holy Spirit (Acts 9:15);
  • Had to have ministered with miraculous signs and wonders (Acts 2:43; 2 Corinthians 12:12).

A modern-day apostle would typically function as a church planter—one who is sent out by the body of Christ to spread the gospel and establish new communities of believers.
