A Watertown minister has pleaded not guilty to possession of child pornography on his computer.

Dennis Hayes was in court Tuesday.  A November 20 trial was set.  The 67-year-old Hayes also faces charges in southwest Minnesota, where authorities allege fondling of a boy who was being mentored by the minister.

Hayes is assigned to St. Martin's Evangelical Lutheran Church in Watertown.

This guy uses the cloak of Jesus Christ to stick his hands between the buttocks of young boys. I haven't read all of the New Testament, but I'm sure that's not mentioned in there.

Innocent until proven guilty. I am amazed by those who would judge so harshly without knowing full details.
