A Hoffman Estates man who volunteered at a Bartlett church has been accused of fondling underage boys, police said.

Alejandro Bautista, 32, of the 1400 block of Devonshire Lane was charged Sunday with three counts of aggravated criminal sexual abuse.

Bartlett police said Bautista fondled two males between the ages of 11 and 15 on multiple occasions at the Bethel Baptist Church in the 600 block of West Lake Street between last October and January, according to a release from the department.

Officials at Bethel Baptist Church could not be reached Tuesday.

Hanover Park and Hoffman Estates police are investigating allegations Bautista may have abused the boys at other locations, police said.

Bautista is being held in Cook County Jail in lieu of $50,000 bail, authorities said. His next court date is Feb. 27 in Rolling Meadows.
