PHOENIX (CBS5) –
Police say a pastor is in jail for allegedly sexually assaulting two girls and two women, and they’re investigating if there are more victims.
Detectives believe Jorge Vasquez, 47, had taken advantage of the victims through his position as a minister.
Phoenix police said the alleged abuse between January 2007 and May 2014 often happened at counseling sessions when he was alone with the victims.
Vasquez was arrested on Thursday at his home in the 8800 block of W. Pinchot Ave. and was booked into the Maricopa County Jail.
He is a pastor at Los Pentecostales en el Desierto in the 2100 block of W. Sherman Ave. in Phoenix. It’s a branch of the The Rock Church based in California.
