...by our well-managed bookstores and the upstanding morals of our spiritual leaders:

A northern Wisconsin man was charged with sexual assault Wednesday for allegedly having sex with a 15-year-old Madison-area boy he met in an Internet chat room. Ervin S. Witmer, 49, of Owen, was charged with three counts of sexual assault of a child under 16 for an alleged encounter with the boy June 3 at the Super 8 Motel on Madison's East Side.... Witmer is Wisconsin district manager of Choice Books, a distributor of Christian and family-friendly books based in Virginia, according to the company's website. A church directory published in March in the Stanley Republican newspaper also listed Witmer as pastor of the Church of the Brethren in Stanley.
