Pompano Beach, Fla. (AP) — A Pompano Beach church worker is being held without bond tonight, accused of molesting at least four children.

Authorities arrested Thiago Fernandes after an 11-year-old boy told his parents that Fernandes grabbed his rear end and threatened to rape him Sunday in the restroom of The First Christian Church.

Fernandes confessed to the act and identified three other children he had sexually molested.

Fernandes was working for a Brazilian congregation that meets at the church. He also led music during Sunday morning services.

He is charged with sexual battery and molestation of at least four children.
