WOODBURN — The pastor at St. Luke Catholic Church in Woodburn was arrested Monday on accusations of sex crimes involving a 12-year-old boy.
Perez was taken into custody following a report to Woodburn police about 1:30 a.m. about inappropriate conduct with a minor, said Officer Mike Araiza of the Woodburn Police Department.
The priest, ordained in 2002, was expected in court Tuesday afternoon for accusations of first- degree sex abuse, using a child in a display of sexually explicit conduct, and furnishing alcohol to a minor.
“Any person taking advantage of a position of trust is very concerning,” said Araiza.
