TARRANT COUNTY, Texas (WRIC) — The former head of a mega church in Richmond is heading to court in Texas today to face eight charges of sexual assault on two young girls.
More than two years after he was charged, the former head of the ROC Church (now known as the Celebration Church and Outreach Ministry), Pastor Geronimo Aguilar, will have his day in court today. 8News investigator Kerri O’Brien was first to break the allegations of sexual abuse which led to a police investigation and Aguilars’ arrest.
The victims, now in their 30’s, say the abuse started when Aguilar was their youth pastor in Texas back in the 1990’s.
“I was about 12 when we started having sex,” one of the victims involved in the case tells 8News.
