BELIZE
7 News Belize
On Wednesday’s Newscast, 7News showed you 46 year-old Julio Cesar Garcia, the purported pastor from Franks Eddy Baptist Church who is in prison for allegedly having sexual intercourse with an 11 year-old female, a member of the church.
The 11 year-old alleged that Garcia had intercourse with her once in the church house and on another occasion at his home.
As a result, police arrested and charged him with 2 counts of unlawful carnal knowledge and he was arraigned and remanded to prison on Wednesday.
It is a heinous case of abuse of authority and trust, and the community is trying to recover from this betrayal.
But if you noticed, we used the word, “purported”, because the Baptist Association of Belize says that Garcia is not the pastor of the church, in fact, they don’t even know if he is a pastor at all.
