A Fort Mill man is accused of sexually abusing a boy while working as a school teacher and church leader in California, according to authorities.

Jason Gorski, 43, was charged with continuous sexual abuse of a child, according to a news release from the Buena Park Police Department in California. He was released from the Orange County jail on $100,000 bond.

Gorski is accused of sexually abusing a boy from 2007 to 2009 while he worked as the victim’s school teacher and an elder within their Jehovah’s Witness congregation, according to Sgt. Mike Lovchik, a Buena Park police spokesman. The boy was 12 years old when the abuse began.

Gorski was a school teacher at the now-defunct Southeastern Longview Private School in Long Beach, Calif., Lovchik said. His employment ended at the conclusion of the school year in 2007 when the school ceased operations.
