TURLOCK — A man who worked as a volunteer at Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Turlock appeared in court Monday for the first time since he was arrested last week on suspicion of sexually abusing two boys.
Eduardo Arellano Sanchez, 34, has been charged with two counts of continuous sexual abuse of a child younger than 14.
He briefly appeared without an attorney for his arraignment hearing Monday afternoon. Stanislaus County Superior Court Judge Valli Israels entered a not guilty plea on Sanchez’s behalf.
Church officials say there is no indication the claimed incidents occurred at the church. Officials have notified parishioners of the arrest and asked them to call Turlock police if they have any information about the case.
