Church Volunteer Suspected Of Sex Assault On Child In Loveland

LOVELAND, Colo. (CBS4) - Police in Loveland are investigating a church volunteer for sexual assault on a child.

Robert Kirchhoff, 54, is in jail for sexual assault on a child by a person in a position of trust. Loveland police are not releasing the booking photo of Kirchhoff, but they say he was a volunteer at Resurrection Fellowship, a large church in Loveland.
