Police are trying to locate a boy who may have been molested in 1991 by a Sunday school teacher arrested in December on suspicion of sexually molesting a 15-year-old neighbor.

Valentino Angel Sedillo, 39, was arrested Christmas Eve. An investigation revealed "that Sedillo's home was the center of activity for a group of neighborhood teens, and where Sedillo reportedly gave the teens alcohol," police said.

Sedillo, who taught Sunday school at Foxworthy Baptist Church in San Jose until May 2006, was found to have concealed video surveillance and recording equipment at his home, police said.

Police also found that Sedillo had been the target of an investigation into the alleged molestation of a boy between the ages of 4 and 6 in 1991. At the time, police said, Sedillo told investigators that he knew the victim and the family through a Baptist church, but he refused to identify the family and the victim was never found.

Investigators are hoping to contact the boy and ask anyone with information to call Detective Rea Pifferini at (408) 277-4102. Those wishing to remain anonymous can call (408) 947-7867.
