Tuesday in court, Sanchez's attorney denied all the allegations and accepted a bail sentence of $150,000.
Sanchez is facing five counts of lewd acts with a child, one count of sexual penetration with a foreign object, and four counts of oral copulation with a child.
Sanchez's family would not comment on the case and was very emotional as they left the courtroom.
Monday's night at the church where Sanchez works, a pastor also had no comment on Sanchez or the case.
His pre-preliminary hearing has been scheduled for June 30.
