TOLLESON, Ariz. (KSAZ) – Robert Jerez is now being housed at the 4th Avenue Jail after police arrested and charged him with nine counts of sexual conduct with a minor and one count of sexual abuse.
Jerez made his initial court appearance Monday, beyond his name he had nothing else to say.
The pastor of the Grace Walk Community Church Joe Calloway says last Thursday night a 15-year-old girl who attends the church came to him and says she had been having sex with “Pastor Tony” which some kids at the church called Jerez.
Calloway says Jerez is an adult leader, not staff at the church.
“We never allow our adults to be alone with them, but I guess she had come to him with some struggles she had, and evidently he got her phone number, and they began to communicate off campus,” said Joe Calloway.
