NEW ULM — A pastor at St. Paul's Lutheran Church in New Ulm is one of 13 men caught in a prostitution sting.
David Carl Bendix, 36, has resigned, according to a story in the New Ulm Journal.
The newspaper reported Bendix is taking responsibility for what he called a "grave error in judgment."He told the Journal: "On Friday, in a moment of monumental weakness, I clicked on an (Internet) ad that I shouldn't have. I followed up on it and agreed to meet someone at the Microtel, and was arrested."Police also released on Thursday night the names of the 12 other men caught in the sting, most of whom live in south-central Minnesota.
