For the second time in two months, a youth pastor has been arrested for alleged sex crimes against teen victims on and off property of a South County Christian church.
Brandon McDade, 30, of Mission Viejo, was arrested Wednesday by Orange County Sheriff’s Department’s Special Victims Unit (SVU) investigators who’d been made aware of allegations of misconduct with children two days before, according to spokesman Lt. Jeff Hallock.
The case against McDade began Monday, when patrol deputies took a report from an alleged victim of the youth pastor at Grace Hills Church in Aliso Viejo, where the suspect has worked for about six years.
“During the course of the investigation, several other victims were contacted, each indicating they had engaged in inappropriate conduct with McDade over a two-year period while he was employed as the youth pastor at Grace Hills Church,” Hallock says. “There have been several alleged incidents of lewd and inappropriate conduct, several of which have occurred on the church property.”
