I suspect the teenage girl in this article was not really a teenage girl,
but a Chandler cop pretending to be a horny teenage girl who loves to have sex with older men.
Several Valley police agencies, including Phoenix, Tempe and Chandler have cops who waste our tax dollars trolling the internet pretending to be horny teenage girls who want to have sex with older men. "Chandler police suspected Minerva of luring a person he believed to be a 14-year-old girl" - That statement makes me think this ministers suicide was over an imaginary person the cops invented to entrap him. If this is true it is really sad that a human being died because the cops were trying to entrap him into having sex with an imaginary girl who didn't even exist? This is the same Chandler Police Department that raises millions of dollars in revenue for the City of Chandler by offering to sell drug dealers thousands of pounds of marijuana and then steal the money from this as detailed in this article. Valley minister kills self after warrant served, police say by Kiali Wong - Apr. 22, 2011 11:39 AM The Arizona Republic-12 News Breaking News Team A minister who police allege was trying to lure a teenage girl via a chat room shot himself to death after a search warrant was served at his Phoenix church, according to the Chandler Police Department. Police went to the church in the 3200 block of East Southern Avenue on Thursday to serve the warrant to Nicholas William Minerva, 52, of Tempe, said Chandler police spokesman Frank Mendoza. Minerva was a minister at the church. When police contacted Minerva, he barricaded himself inside and later shot himself, Mendoza said. Chandler police suspected Minerva of luring a person he believed to be a 14-year-old girl. They alleged that he first made contact with the person in a chat room in July and that the communications continued until Thursday, according to Mendoza. Minerva's chats via Internet are alleged to have consisted of inappropriate conversations, according to Chandler police. At one point, he is alleged by police to have exposed his genitalia to a web camera. Mendoza said police are examining whether other victims may exist. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Chandler Police Department at 480-782-4130. Minerva's apparent suicide is now being investigated by the Phoenix Police Department, Mendoza said.
The cops keep saying the minister THOUGHT he was dealing with a girl. I suspect that means he was dealing with a Chandler cop who was pretending to be a horny young girl who loves to have sex with older men. Phoenix church mourns pastor who killed himself by Laurie Merrill - Apr. 24, 2011 02:36 PM The Arizona Republic The mood was somber Easter Sunday as congregants of the Trinity Baptist Fellowship Church in Phoenix mourned the suicide of their pastor, who took his life last week in the face of a sex scandal. "It's just shocking," churchgoer Maritza Gonzales said of Pastor Nick Minerva's death as she entered the place of worship on the 3200 block of East Southern Avenue. "It's going to be tough," said Suzanna Saucedo, another worshiper. "It's because I always saw him as a person who really cared, and now he's gone. He taught us how to be strong." Minerva, 52, shot himself Thursday after a standoff with Chandler police attempting to serve a warrant on suspicion he was luring a 14-year-old girl into a sexual relationship. Minerva, who lived in Tempe, was the married father of four children. He had been pastor of the south Phoenix church since 2004, and had a loyal group of followers. Prior to that, he was pastor of First Baptist Church in Bagdad, Ariz. since 2000. Minerva had also at one time been a probation officer, congregants said. The message Sunday was of hope, healing, and peace as visiting church member Tobi England spoke of Jesus Christ's resurrection. "I have prayed for the pastor's family non-stop," England said at the start of the service. The Minerva family, he said, "is asking for your prayers and support." The church issued a formal statement Sunday that says in part: "While we do not condone the activities that have taken place we know that our God is in control, and we are putting our complete trust in Him." Since July, Chandler police said Minerva had been chatting online with a person believed to be a 14-year-old girl, and then, unknowingly, Chandler detectives. The chats were "inappropriate," police said. At one point, police said, he exposed his genitalia via a web camera. He was attempting to meet the person he thought was a girl, police said. Police said Minerva gained his online correspondent's confidence by warning her to beware of online perverts. He said he "hated" people who were sexually explicit online. Minerva's communications with the person he thought was a teen continued until Thursday, when police contacted him, said Chandler Police Detective Frank Mendoza. Instead of surrendering, Mendoza said, Minerva barricaded himself inside and later shot himself. On the website of the Phoenix church, Minerva wrote: "It was in January of 2004 that our family had the opportunity to come to South Phoenix. In our first service we were joined by seven faithful members at TBFC to set off on a great and exciting adventure. Since that first service God has blessed our church in a great and mighty way. "Trinity Baptist has become a place where hearts are challenged and lives are changed. This website will give you an idea of what God has done here. You will see how our church can serve you and how you can serve the Lord here through TBFC. "It is our goal here at TBFC to meet the spiritual needs of the South Mountain community. We would be honored to serve you, so please feel free to contact us if we can help meet the spiritual needs of you or your family."
