A former Bible study instructor at an Annapolis church was arrested and charged with sexually abusing a child, Anne Arundel police said Friday.

Police said Erick Ernesto Granados-Zeledon, 39, was arrested without incident at his home in the 1700 block of Oldtown Road in Edgewater on Thursday.

A child told investigators he had been sexually abused by Granados-Zeledon, who was a chaperone and Bible study instructor at Iglesia Hispana Emmanuel in Annapolis. The child was 10 at the time of the alleged abuse.

Police spokesman Lt. Ryan Frashure said none of the abuse happened at the church, but the department is concerned there may be more victims because Granados-Zeledon's position put him in regular contact with children.

Charging documents state Granados-Zeledon was a friend of the victim's family through the church and that he would take the child "from [the family's] residence to church, out to eat and occasionally to his residence in Edgewater."

Granados-Zeledon admitted to the investigating officer he'd performed sexual acts with the child in March when he drove the boy to his home, charging documents state.

Granados-Zeledon has been charged with second-, third- and fourth-degree sex offense, child abuse, sexual abuse of a minor, sodomy and second-degree assault.

No attorney was listed as representing Granados-Zeledon in online court records.

He is being held without bail following a bail review hearing on Friday.
