DELTONA, Fla. – Deputies fear there could be more victims after a Deltona youth counselor was accused of molesting a boy he mentored through church, according to the Volusia County Sheriff’s Office.
Nathan Gorzelanczyk had been working with youth at The Journey church in Orange City as a counselor before his arrest on Monday. He was recently fired from the Florida United Methodist Children’s Home, but deputies said he didn’t tell them why. The Florida United Methodist Children’s Home wouldn’t comment to News 6 about the allegations.
A 12-year-old boy recently told his therapist that Gorzelanczyk had molested him multiple times during the past year, deputies said. Gorzelanczyk, 31, had been mentoring the boy and often took him to church activities, to play tennis and to Gorzelanczyk’s home.
Deputies said Gorzelanczyk molested the boy multiple times at his home and showed him pornography involving young boys.
