Jury finds minister guilty of attempted rape

LANCASTER COUNTY, PA - An ordained minister and the former youth
director at a Lancaster church was convicted Thursday of attempting to
rape a woman at her home in Millersville.The Rev. Gregory Ross
Fladeland, 38, of 2511 Wedglea Drive, Dallas, Texas, was convicted by
a jury of one woman and 11 men of criminal attempt at rape, aggravated
indecent assault, indecent assault and simple assault.
According to a report filed by Millersville police Sgt. Howard R.
Bauman, the woman told police she woke to find Fladeland in her
bedroom in the early morning hours of Aug. 22, 2004.
Despite her request that he leave, Bauman reports, Fladeland stayed,
telling the woman he "was going to have sex with her ... ."
The woman grabbed a phone and attempted to call police, Bauman says in
the affidavit of probable cause. Fladeland wrestled the phone from
her.
"Greg Fladeland took his clothes off and proceeded to force (the
woman) to have sex with him. (The woman) stated that she tried to
force him away, but Greg was too strong."
Fladeland pulled down the woman's pajama bottoms and ripped off her
top, Bauman says in the report.
"(The woman) was fighting Greg and bit him on the right shoulder,"
according to Bauman's report. "Greg Fladeland then said, 'Oh, this is
how you want it.' Greg Fladeland then struck (the woman) in the head
two to three times with an open fist."
Fladeland ultimately was unable to complete the sexual act, according
to Bauman's report.
"After a few minutes of struggling, Greg Fladeland stopped," according
to the criminal complaint. "(The woman) went to the bathroom. After a
time in the bathroom, Greg Fladeland asked her what she wanted to do,
and (she) again told him to leave. Greg Fladeland left."
Fladeland testified Thursday he believed the attempted sexual
intercourse was consensual and that the woman bit him "playfully."
"Being nervous and feeling bad about my inability to perform, I
started to laugh out of frustration," Fladeland said. "I guess she
thought I was laughing at her, and she bit me on the arm."
It took the jury less than 90 minutes to find Fladeland guilty on all
counts.
Assistant District Attorney Sue Ellison, who prosecuted the case, said
she was "pleased" by the verdict.
"I'm grateful the jury paid so much attention to the facts," Ellison
said. She said the victim showed little emotion as the verdict was
read.
"She's relieved that it's done. She's a strong woman and a smart
woman. This has been very stressful for her."
Defense attorney Alan Goldberg, who represented Fladeland, was unable
to be reached for comment after everyone had left the courtroom.
Judge James P. Cullen ordered a presentence investigation into
Fladeland's background and ordered an assessment be conducted by the
state Sexual Offenders Assessment Board. A sentencing date is
scheduled for October.
Fladeland worked part time for Covenant United Methodist Church at
Orange and Mulberry streets after being hired in September 2000,
according to newspaper reports. He led the youth program several days
a week. He previously had worked in youth ministry for 15 years and
also worked part time as a campus minister at Millersville University.
Fladeland was ordained in the Western North Carolina Conference of the
United Methodist Church and graduated from McMurry University in
Abilene, Texas, and Emory University School of Theology in Atlanta.
He has lived in Texas since September 2004.
