WENATCHEE - This orchard town, which in the last year has been scandalized by stories of a doctor liberally prescribing the anti-depressant drug Prozac and two 12-year-old boys who shot a homeless man to death, now faces accusations af child abuse that have divided the town.
The worst blow to the psyche of this community came when a minister and his wife, much beloved by their congregation and founders of a celebrated food bank, were jailed and charged with being part of a child sex ring involving dozens of adults and a number of children.
According to police, Pastor "Bob" and Sister Connie, as the Rev. Robert Roberson and his wife, Connie, were known, would conduct a regular Friday Bible class in their small Pentacostal church, and then line up the children downstairs with selected adults to have sex.
Wenatchee is a town of 20,000 in a valley dwarfed by the Cascade Mountains on one side and rust-colored basalt cliffs on the other. Apple orchards, just starting to blossom, surround the town in a sea of pink.
