JERSEY CITY, N.J. (AP) – Authorities say a church pastor who fled the country after he was convicted of sexually assaulting a teenage boy has been detained in the Honduras.
Hudson County Prosecutor Esther Suarez announced the capture of Gregorio Martinez on Sunday. She said he was apprehended Tuesday in the town of Danli, but further details were not disclosed.
Suarez says her office will be “exploring all options” to return Martinez to New Jersey, where he faces sentencing for the sex assault conviction. He’s also facing charges stemming from the alleged sexual assaults of three other males who came forward following Martinez’s conviction in February 2015.
