It's up to the jury now in the sexual assault trial of former Pella pastor Patrick Edouard. Prosecutors closed their case saying Edouard had taken advantage of women sexually by using his position as a pastor and that he had affairs with four members of his congretation. The defense claimed the affairs were consensual and the women cried foul because of the impact the affairs had on their families. Edouard is charged with eight counts of sexual abuse and sexual explotation.
