FULLERTON – A former Fullerton pastor was sentenced to four months in jail and three years’ probation Thursday after a jury found him guilty of sexually abusing an 18-year-old woman who was a member of his church.
Joseph Angel Olvera, 55, of Fullerton was found guilty of two misdemeanor counts of touching an intimate part of another person.
Olvera formerly worked as a pastor at Lifeline Ministries, 552 E. Patterson Way, officials said.
Prosecutors said that about 9 a.m. Aug. 22, 2012, Olvera approached the bed of the woman, who was living in the church, to wake her up for work.
