SALEM, Ore. — A $2 million bail was set Thursday for a Salem pastor accused of raping a child he met at church.
Mauricio Aguilera-Garcia, 55, was arrested this week for rape, sodomy and unlawful sexual penetration charges.
Marion County Sheriff’s deputies say he met his victim at his church, Our Father’s House. That church rents space from the Solid Rock Community Church on Ward Drive NE in Salem.
Investigators say the alleged victim was just 13 when the abuse started, and is now an adult.
Aguilera-Garcia was convicted of sex abuse in 1985 but was never listed as a registered sex offender.
