Former high school teacher faces charges for child sex crimes

WAUKESHA, Wis. — A former high school teacher faces multiple charges for engaging in sexual activity with a teenager.

35-year-old Justin Liepert of Waukesha was a teacher at Wisconsin Lutheran High School when he met the 16-year-old male working late on a theater production at school. He then messaged the teen to meet for sex using dating and social media apps from February to May 2024.

Liepert also used the apps to send sexually explicit videos to the teen.

Landon Zacharyasz, principal of Wisconsin Lutheran High School, issued the following statement on February 17:

On Friday, February 14, our administration was informed by the Waukesha County Sheriff’s Department that a WLHS employee was in custody due to illegal activity. The employee was absent from school on Friday and will not be allowed back on the premises.

We have since terminated this person’s employment with WLHS, as he has been charged with illegal activity that grievously violates the terms of our code of conduct at WLHS.

While we have no reason to believe the situation involved any WLHS students, we pray for any victims. Our school family is stunned and saddened by this discovery. We turn to our Savior to find strength and comfort, knowing he is with us during this difficult time.

The safety and well-being of our students, staff, and community is our highest priority. We want to assure our community that all hiring decisions include thorough reference and periodic background checks as required by DPI and robust evaluations. All candidates must meet the high standards expected at Wisconsin Lutheran High School. We share our expectations regarding our standards of conduct with all employees and execute regular trainings to ensure they are understood in practice.

Wisconsin Lutheran High School remains committed to its mission of preparing young adults for productive, Christ-centered lives in a diverse world.

Liepert was arrested and made an initial appearance in court on February 17. He’s charged with felony child enticement – exposing genitals/pubic area/intimate parts as well as 3 counts of misdemeanor sexual intercourse with child 16 or older.

Cash bond was set at $5,000 and his preliminary hearing is set for March 19.

Case against Liepert

What we know:

According to the criminal complaint, a Waukesha police detective made contact on Nov. 24, 2024 with a 16-year-old juvenile victim. That person reported he had communicated with an adult male via an app called "Sniffies" between February and March 2024. That teen had also communicated with the same person on Snapchat and Telegram. The victim described the adult male "as a married, Lutheran school teacher," the complaint says. The teen indicated he met with the defendant "about three or four times," the complaint says.

When the detective checked the defendant's Snapchat account, it was discovered that "he is a teacher at a Lutheran school." The complaint goes on to say "records showed the user explaining that he teaches 9-12 grade at a private school." It also shows "the defendant's receipt of several sexually explicit videos" from the teenage victim," the complaint says.

The detective interviewed the defendant on Feb. 13, 2025. The defendant advised he has a Snapchat and Sniffies account. The defendant indicated he did not have his Sniffies account because he deleted it a few weeks prior, the complaint says.

The law enforcement conducted forensics on the defendant's phone. It "revealed that the defendant's map application reported the defendant visiting (the victim's) residence" on one day in March 2024 and two days in May 2024.

Martin Luther College's "Party in the USA" plagiarism was a big hit and very popular with all the students.

Wisconsin Lutheran High School statement

What they're saying:

Landon Zacharyasz, principal of Wisconsin Lutheran High School, issued a statement on this matter on Tuesday, Feb. 18. It reads as follows: 

"On Friday, February 14, our administration was informed by the Waukesha County Sheriff's Department that a WLHS employee was in custody due to illegal activity. The employee was absent from school on Friday and will not be allowed back on the premises.

"We have since terminated this person’s employment with WLHS, as he has been charged with illegal activity that grievously violates the terms of our code of conduct at WLHS.

"While we have no reason to believe the situation involved any WLHS students, we pray for any victims. Our school family is stunned and saddened by this discovery. We turn to our Savior to find strength and comfort, knowing he is with us during this difficult time.

"The safety and well-being of our students, staff, and community is our highest priority.

All candidates must meet the high standards expected at Wisconsin Lutheran High School. We share our expectations regarding our standards of conduct with all employees and execute regular trainings to ensure they are understood in practice.

"Wisconsin Lutheran High School remains committed to its mission of preparing young adults for productive, Christ-centered lives in a diverse world."

The WELS pastor and council members cross-dressed and had children giving them female make-up.

Pastor Mueller is one of the WELS Church Growth advocates. "And the people sat down to eat and to drink, and rose up to play." Exodus 32

Liepert's role:

FOX6 News reached out to Wisconsin Lutheran High School to clarify Liepert’s title and role at the school. Officials said in 2020, Liepert was hired as a teacher at the high school. In June 2021, the school's previous librarian retired and Liepert had the background and qualifications to take on the role as librarian, to fill that vacancy.

What's next:

Liepert made his initial appearance in Waukesha County court on Monday, Feb. 17. Cash bond was set at $5,000.

Michigan Lutheran Seminary (prep) is where Liepert went to high school.
The cross-dressing is very popular.

WELS Gay Agenda

The Wisconsin Synod is an abusive sect that promotes anti-Biblical entertainment at their high schools, college, and seminary. Not long ago a WELS pastor and his elders provided a cross-dressing picnic, where children were encouraged to dress the pastor and elders as women and wear make-up. That was a public outdoor gathering photographed and published on the Internet.

One Martin Luther College dorm plagiarized a Fire Island gay copy of "Party in the USA" with dorm men playing women, which aroused gay groups everywhere. The future WELS graduates were even more gross than the Fire Island originals.

Wisconsin Lutheran Seminary likes to promote gay and physically abusive events. The students used to pretend to sodomize the Sprinter statue, which was moved to the Watertown college. The initiation of one seminary group had their "pope" dressed up in drag.

Michigan Lutheran Seminary (a very small high school) likes to dress the male students in women's outfits for entertainment. Liepert graduated from that school.

WELS Convention Begins with Fuller Seminary Clown Preaching - First VP Huebner, Who Replaced Church Growth's Wayne Mueller, Another Jeske Gang Member

Jim Huebner's father led the cover-up of the infamous Tabor murder. Read this Ichabod post about hazing rituals in WELS. 

Michigan Lutheran Seminary once had 300 high school students. Now they have only 192 students - Church Growth at work! John Lawrenz, as a previous principal, laughed about students holding a fellow student upside-down, outside an upper level window. They slipped, he dropped head-first, and broke bones. Lawrenz laughed. The appalled parents found a better school.

WELS is a sect where alcoholism is praised and promoted, lying is a team sport.

"Do you know who my father is?" - The WELS Crocodile Farm always has an alibi for alcoholism, adultery, and various felonies. They tell their tall tales about anyone who dares to challenge their abusive cult. Jim Huebner - we know, we know.

When Huebner invited himself to visit Shepherd of Peace in Columbus, the local WELS clergy and fake clergy included three divorced pastors out of six, which was OK. They embraced Fuller Seminary dogma, just like Valleskey, Bivens, Huebner, Kelm, and Larry Otto Olson. 

I would not trust the numbers published by WELS. They never tell the truth. Schwan checks were not always included in the money mailed in - as told by someone in charge of handling the funds legally. "Missions" are often renamed and restarted to show how active they are. 

But now - like the LCMS and the Little Sect on the Prairie (ELS) - they have a legacy of bricks and mortar for the glory of Holy Mother Synod. They must carry their inflexible, demanding, and unmoving burden, soon calling for furnace, AC, roof, and population repairs.

Relax, WELSians, a new generation of alcoholic pastors and teachers are becoming senior leaders, eager to take the place of their sclerotic seniors. They have a new gimmick to divert attention from the actual numbers - Unstuck. Never mind their love of the worst Bible ever - the NIV. Ignore their anti-Lutheran, anti-Scriptural dogma. Let the youngest - if they can be found - take over.

Yes, this is being sold to WELS suckers, who need to be unstuck to "grow, Grow, GROW!" - quoting their patron saint, Waldo Werning.

WELS, ELCA, LCMS - who says Lutherans cannot get along? Some ELCA parishes have removed material as soon as I posted about them. Mark - The Germans Stopped Coming - Jeske is the key person in bringing ELCA clergy and the LCMS-WELS together. Now is a good time to dab tears from one's eyes - or were they blinders?

WELS has blown a lot of loot to make themselves larger, but they keep shrinking faster than ever.

The Southern Babtists rejected the NIV that WELS loves so dearly. NIV Romans 3 - "all" are justified? 

 How about that Sprinter statue? 

ELCA has nothing on WELS, a leader in societal evolution and hanky-panky.

Michigan Lutheran Seminary dresses their young men in dresses each year, good training for Martin Luther College and Mordor (Mequon). "One gender to rule them all, and in the darkness bind them."

 

Cross-dressing Michigan Lutheran Seminary students lead to cross-dressing pastors and congregations. No problem - ELCA understands and applauds this breakthrough.

WELS Prep School Low on Cash

 Mich Lutheran Sem is facing financial challenges according to Mark Schroeder. They have put on hold capital expenditures until these challenges are addressed.

 Maybe the MLS alumni Booze Brothers, great pals of Katy Perry, could hit her up for some capital funds.

 Michigan Lutheran Seminary is a great place for young men to learn cross-dressing and makeup. They need to learn about hazing for Martin Luther College and Mordor.

Justification by Faith is not tolerated,
but a little canoodling is harmless, they say.

S.O.S. - Same Old Style from WELS - 2010 Resignation from MIchigan Lutheran Sem Prep School

GJ - Please do not try to fool an information maven. The official story is not true. WELS is so used to lying that the officials think they can fool an entire synod. WELS Pastor Aaron Frey was asked in doctrine class at MLS about how far one could go sexually. He said, "As far as your conscience allows." That was several weeks ago. An uproar followed, which climaxed in his resignation.

Since the DP was leading the chapel service when the announcement was made, some might conclude (as I did) that some high-level meeting took place that morning. Mrs. I did not believe the story. I asked various sources about what happened, and their utter silence told me it was something.

WELS leaders have used the burn-out excuse too often to be believed. That is how they finessed the Michigan District VP from a congregation to director of a WELS nursing home, with the previous DP lying to beat the band. When that district VP was exposed as an adulterer, one of his members--a student at MLS--decided not to be a pastor.

LPR in Columbus was a collection of lies and slander.

"For the good of the ministry" means something bad happened, and now we know. Perhaps WELS pastors and leaders should stop deceiving people, for the good of the ministry. Do they expect people to believe them the next time?

excerpt:

Recently, Wisconsin mandated a sex education curriculum that required teachers to teach about condoms and other forms of birth control. Sounds pretty straight-forward, right? It would have been, but last week, a D.A. named Scott Southworth announced that teachers who followed this law, could end up in jail for breaking another: namely, contributing to the delinquency of minors.

The classes also must inform students that teenagers who have sex can wind up on the state's sex offender registry because sex with children 16 or younger is a crime.

President Frey Resigns

Below is a letter by Vice President William Zeiger regarding this morning's announcement by President Aaron Frey to resign. Please keep Pres. Frey, his family, MLS and our Synod in your prayers.

---

Dear Friends of Michigan Lutheran Seminary,

Yesterday, Pres. Aaron Frey informed our MLS Governing Board Chairman, Pastor George Ferch, and me that he was resigning his call as president of Michigan Lutheran Seminary for the good of the ministry.

This news was announced to our student body and faculty following our chapel service this morning by Pastor John Seifert, the president of our Michigan District. Pastor Seifert is an advisory member of our governing board.

While this resignation is unexpected, we are already making the necessary adjustments to our school’s program. Pastor Ferch will be calling each of the governing board members today to inform them of the news. The board meets in New Ulm, Minnesota, next week Friday. At that meeting the board will appoint an acting president and begin the calling process to fill the vacancy in the president’s office.

Pres. Frey’s teaching assignment of Doctrine 12 will be taken over by Instructor Andrew Naumann, who taught the course last year following Pres. Prange’s departure. We will have to make some other small adjustments to the academic schedule to accommodate this change, but they will be insignificant.

Vacancies in ministry can be unsettling. At the same time MLS has had experience in its recent history of continuing its important ministry very well in times of vacancy in the administration, faculty, and staff of our school. The Lord has blessed MLS with capable men and women who will pick up the work that needs to be done and to do it well. They have done it in the past, and they will meet this new challenge with the same ability and service now. They will do it as they serve our students, our special ministry at MLS, and their Lord and Savior.

I encourage you to keep the needs of MLS in your prayers, as well as Pastor Frey and his family as they face changes in their life.

In our Savior’s service,

William Zeiger, Ph.D.

Vice President

GJ - I have an official source saying that Aaron Frey could not take the strain of trying to keep the school going during such dire financial straits. I am sorry to hear that. Such stories were common about stress and overwork in the past, and they include F. Pieper and Walther as well. People used to go to Europe to rest and recover. We have different names for it but similar symptoms today. <--Note that the "burn-out" alibi only worked for a few hours.

People should keep Pastor Frey and his family in their prayers. Doubtless he wanted to turn the school around and honor the family name. <--Teaching the fornication philosophy of SIECUS is not God-pleasing, so why pay $8,200 per year to hear to hear it from a Lutheran pastor?

WELS has tried to be a big denomination for too long. A few people have convinced big donors that showcase projects like LPR (Zehms, Stolzenburg) in Columbus or The CORE (Glende, Ski) in Appleton would change everything. They have only proven how soon a fool and his money are parted. The Schwan Foundation has been as effective as the Obama stimulus package, good for a few people, bad for the rest.

Schools devour money. Ask anyone who has one of last remaining church schools. Benefits cost a fortune. Buildings have to be fed and watered like farm animals. "We are going to hold a candy sale to cover the cost of refinishing the gym floor." It never ends.

How many schools would like to have the $15 million devoured by Thoughts of Faith?

The $500,000 recently devoured by The SORE? (My estimate. They started off spending $250,000, just to get started. Meanwhile, I broadcast all over the world with a $100 camera and a computer I could have found dumpster diving.)

The entire sum spend on the latest world mission venture, where a few people are send to a new mission area, using up a lot of money to dabble in mission work there?

There is the old story of the monkey and the peas. He wanted to hold onto more and more, so he dropped all of them at once.

In this day of instant communication, the old system of ecclesiastical lying is falling apart. WELS used to be able to encapsulate a scandal, such as the time a female staffer at MLS was servicing the male students, or when another staffer was robbing them blind and livin' high on the hog.

When will they learn? Lying encourages the unrepentant, who know the bigger the scandal, the greater the smokescreen. Lying also discourages faithful Christians who think a privately owned, clergy-run school is a safe alternative to the public education system.

Glende's Fake-O-Bod defends the lies:

Dr. Gregory Jackson's Report about MLS Pres. Frey

Friday it was announced that Pres. Aaron Frey of Michigan Lutheran Seminary, the WELS high school in Saginaw, Michigan, resigned "for the good of the ministry." MLS provided an official letter on its website from Dr. William Zeiger.

Dr. Jackson couldn't wait to report the news on his gossip blog, Ichabod, the Glory Has Departed. Unfortunately, he had to add his own personal comments based on some secret source of his in Michigan. This is what Dr. Jackson wrote, "I have an official source saying that Aaron Frey could not take the strain of trying to keep the school going during such dire financial straits." Dr. Jackson criticizes others for not quoting their sources, but he does the same thing!

Today, Saturday, September 18, Greg Jackson wrote on his blog, "Please do not try to fool an information maven. The official story is not true. WELS is so used to lying that the officials think they can fool an entire synod." He then proceeded to report the so-called "real" reason for Pres. Frey's resignation.

There was no "official" reason publicly given for Pres. Frey's resignation. Jackson simply stated that a source of his reported Frey resigned because of burnout. The next thing Jackson does is accuse the WELS of lying. No official report or news release was made by the WELS, MLS or anyone else. Dr. Jackson, from what we can tell, made up what his original source said, and then he turned around and accused the WELS of lying.

It should be obvious to anyone with half a brain that the WELS is not the entity that lied here. Dr. Jackson is telling lies, and then he blames someone else for his personal untruthfulness. But that's nothing new for Dr. Jackson, is it?

***

GJ - Ski and Glende are the fruit of MLS, so I knew the Appleton fake blog would jump on this. They are daily readers of Ichabod, when they are not copying Groeschel into their sermon files or blocking Google access to my ruminations about Fox Valley apostasy.

I should name my sources so a fake, anonymous blog from plagiarists can lead the way in sliming a new set of victims? Church and Money Changers are so transparent.

Cease and desist, Tim and Ski. The school, faculty, and parents know the truth, if they spend a few seconds asking some questions. This has been brewing for several weeks.

I am confident in my story, my sources, and the truth - as distinguished from the smokescreen being laid down.

Ta-ta. I actually write my sermons. Right now I am studying Luther so I have no time for the aging, balding, blubbery juveniles of The SORE.

The Official WELS Denial:

Rev. Aaron Frey announced Sept. 17 that, effective immediately, he is resigning as president of Michigan Lutheran Seminary (MLS) in Saginaw, one of two preparatory high schools operated by the synod.

In a letter from Frey read to students and faculty by Rev. John Seifert, president of the Michigan District, Frey states: "It is with deep sadness that I must tender to you my resignation as the president of Michigan Lutheran Seminary for the good of the ministry at our beloved synodical preparatory school." Seifert, who counseled with Frey, says, "He has not disqualified himself from serving in the public ministry, and he did not have to resign."

Frey had been serving as president of MLS since February after serving since July 2006 as pastor at Emanuel in Tawas City, Mich.

The governing board of MLS meets in New Ulm, Minn., Sept. 24. At that meeting the board will appoint an acting president and begin the calling process to fill the vacancy in the president's office.

William Zeiger, vice president of MLS, in a separate letter to students and faculty writes: "Vacancies in ministry can be unsettling. At the same time MLS has had experience in its recent history of continuing its important ministry very well in times of vacancy in the administration, faculty, and staff of our school. The Lord has blessed MLS with capable men and women who will pick up the work that needs to be done and to do it well."

Both Zeiger and Seifert are asking the synod to keep Frey and his family in their prayers.
