RANCHO CUCAMONGA >> A Pomona church youth pastor arrested last month for allegedly sexually abusing at least one boy pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor charge and will be sentenced Monday, court records show.
Marquis Kidd, 32, had originally pleaded not guilty to all charges Jan. 20, according to court documents. But only a few days later, he pleaded no contest to a single misdemeanor charge of annoying or molesting a child under the age of 18.
Kidd, an elder and youth minister at the Mt. Sinai Church of God at 936 West Ninth St. in Pomona, was arrested Jan. 14 at the Upland Police Station following an investigation into allegations that Kidd had been having inappropriate relations with at least one underage boy, officials said.
