A Corona pastor accused of assaulting a 13-year-old boy with pliers and directing two church members to discipline the youth has served time in federal prison for an investment fraud scheme.
The two church members drove the boy to the desert March 18, forced him to dig a grave, threw dirt on him and then beat him with a belt, according to authorities.
On Wednesday, the pastor, Lonny Lee Remmers, 54, was charged with felony assault and inflicting injury on a child. The other men — Nicholas Craig, 22, and Darryl Duane Jeter Jr., 28 — were charged with kidnapping, assault and other felonies.
