Los Angeles — Five men who were sexually molested as children by a minister have reached a $1.75 million out-of-court settlement with the Assemblies of God, Inc. The victims, now aged 27 to 30, will share the settlement. The minister, the Rev. Dalton Webber Sr., admitted his guilt during the course of the suit and stated that he had been forgiven. Webber, formerly the senior pastor at Good Shepherd Assemblies of God Worship Center in Carlsbad, California, moved to Filoan Springs, Arkansas, before the suit was filed.

A former commander of American Legion Post 29 in Siloam Springs was asked to resign his membership Nov. 10 after Legionnaires learned of his 1994 admission that he molested the child of a member of his church congregation in California.

Dalton Webber, 80, of Siloam Springs had served as chaplain for the state American Legion for three years and was a historian and executive board member of the local post.

“He was our program director for the annual Family Funfest fundraiser,” said Ron Evans, commander for Post 29. “He created a lot of the flyers and tickets for the events. Dalton is a very talented man, but this admission has forced the Legion to distance ourselves from him.”

Evans said Webber served as a liaison between the Legion and the local Boy Scouts.
