RIVERSIDE, Calif. (CN) – New Wine Ministries pastor Matthias Anderson sexually assaulted a 13-year-old girl and continued molesting her for three years, the girl claims in court.
Jane Doe sued Anderson, New Wine Ministries, the Life Project Community & Family Transformation Center, and three other people: Marc Anderson, Matthias’ brother and also a pastor at New Wine; Matthias Anderson’s wife, and New Wine administrator Debra Flores.
Matthias Flores was sentenced to nine years in state prison for sexually assaulting her, the girl says in the complaint.
Doe says she met Matthias Flores in 2008, when she was 12. He became her pastor, and her mother “came to be employed by New Wine” while Matthias Flores was sexually molesting her, Doe claims in her Superior Court complaint.
