Deputies arrested a Wimauma pastor today after he admitted to having sex with an 11-year-old girl several decades ago.

Patrick H. Shiver, 72, admitted to having sex with the girl “30 to 40 years ago” during a recent controlled telephone call, according to the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office. Shiver, who is currently a pastor at the Casa De Dios church in Wimauma, confessed again to deputies during later interviews.

He said he had sex with the girl multiple times while she was under the age of 11, and again when she was between the ages of 14 and 17, deputies said.

Shiver was arrested at his home without incident, authorities said. He is charged with capital sexual battery and is being held without bond in the Orient Road Jail.
