Detectives arrested a Salem pastor Wednesday and charged him with sex crimes after a week-long investigation.
Mauricio Aguilera-Garcia, 55, was charged with 10 counts each of second-degree rape, second degree sodomy and unlawful sexual penetration.
The victim was a juvenile when the alleged crimes took place according to the Marion County Sheriff’s Office, and met the Aguilera-Garcia at the Our Father’s House church. The church rents space from the Solid Rock Community Church at 3535 Ward Drive NE.
Detectives say Garcia-Augilera was convicted of first-degree sex abuse in 1985, but is not currently listed as a sex offender.
