A perverted pastor is going to prison.
Former megachurch preacher Geronimo Aguilar was found guilty on Wednesday of sexually assaulting two young sisters two decades ago in Texas.
The Tarrant County jury convicted the 45-year-old church leader on all seven felony charges, including sexual assault of a child, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reported.
Aguilar shared a home with the sisters, who were ages 11 and 13 at the time, while he was a Fort Worth minister.
The older sister testified the abuse lasted for two years in the 1990s and included rape.
Aguilar moved in 2001 to Richmond, Va., where he founded the Richmond Outreach Center with his wife. He helped build the congregation of just 19 people into the ministerial powerhouse ROC parish with thousands of members. He was fired in 2014 following his indictment.
