The Rev. Angel Armando Perez made his first court appearance on Tuesday in a case involving allegations of sexual abuse, use of a child in a display of sexually explicit conduct and furnishing alcohol to a minor.
According to jail records, Perez now also faces an accusation of driving under the influence.
Parishioners filled the benches of the courtroom in Marion County Circuit Court. Several dozen recited the Lord’s Prayer in Spanish before the proceeding began. Perez appeared via video from the Marion County Jail during the 10-minute court session and listened to attorneys and judicial staff discussing scheduling of additional hearings.
A release hearing, to consider bail for Perez, was scheduled for 10:30 a.m. Aug. 20. A preliminary hearing hearing was scheduled for Aug. 22.
