FORT WORTH, TEXAS, (WRIC) — Geronimo Aguilar’s wife took the stand Monday calling him a horrible husband but not a child molester.
The trial for the former Richmond ROC pastor accused of sexually assaulting two girls in Texas continued in Fort Worth.
For the first time since the allegations of abuse and the scandal at the former ROC Church surfaced, the court is hearing from Geronimo Aguilar’s wife. Samantha Aguilar doesn’t deny the affairs he had, but says she never saw anything inappropriate between her husband and the alleged victims.
“Yeah, he was a horrible husband, but they deserve a father, yeah that’s what we are doing,” said Samantha Aguilar.
An emotional Samantha Aguilar said as the ROC Church grew in popularity, she and her husband began to drift apart and her husband’s affairs began.
