A Phoenix pastor is jail and accused of molesting girls, including two that went to his church, and impregnating a girl who may have been as young as 13 years old.
Jose Vicente Morales was arrested on Friday, Sept. 9 near 43rd Avenue and Bethany Home Road.
According to court documents, there are at least five victims that he knew through his church or already knew outside of the church.
Police said Morales impregnated a girl when she was 13 or 14 years old. He reportedly met her when she was 8 years old and got “married” when she was 10 years old, court documents said.
Another victim said she was sexually abused from when she was 7 years old to when she was 12 years old. She recalled being molested by Morales when she was sleeping over at his house and then another time while she was swimming in his pool, court documents said.
