	Teen Testifies about Sexual Abuse By Oliver Mackson Times Herald-Record February 03, 2010 http://www.recordonline.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20100203/NEWS/2030341/-1/NEWS GOSHEN (NY) -- A teenage boy told an Orange County Court jury on Tuesday that a Newburgh man had as many as "100 to 150" sexual encounters with him between 2005 and 2006. The boy, who was 12 at the time, testified at the trial of Humberto Cruz, 39, who is charged with first-degree course of sexual conduct against a child, a felony, and several other sex offenses. The boy told the jury that he met Cruz while Cruz was a volunteer teaching Scripture at Iglesia de Dios, a Pentecostal church in Newburgh's East End. Cruz was relieved of all responsibilites at the church after Newburgh city police arrested him last year. The boy told the jury that the encounters took place at Cruz's home and at least once at the church, and that some of them involved another boy. He said he didn't speak up until last year because he didn't want to cause stress for his family. They moved to Florida in December 2006.
