MARION COUNTY, Ore. — Deputies say they’ve arrested a Salem man for raping and sodomizing a juvenile he met through his work at a local church.

Mauricio Aguilera-Garcia, 55, was arrested this week on rape, sodomy and unlawful sexual penetration.

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.

Garcia-Aguilera was convicted of sex abuse in 1985 but was not listed as a registered sex offender.
