A local youth pastor and coach has been charged with seven felony counts of sex crimes with a minor female, as well as using force to dissuade his wife from reporting his alleged actions to authorities, according to the Santa Barbara County District Attorney’s Office.
Daniel James Moreno, 25, was arrested at an undisclosed location at 12:40 a.m. Monday in Santa Maria.
Authorities allege Moreno attempted to prevent his wife Katrina Moreno, a witness to the suspected crimes, from making a report to authorities, according to a felony complaint filed against him Wednesday by the District Attorney’s Office.
The victims are identified only as “Jane Doe” due to their ages.
