One of the youth pastors at the Bread House South church in Lansing is charged with sexually assaulting a teenage girl who is a member at the church.

Victor A. Trevino Jr., 22, is accused of inappropriately touching the girl and seeking sex acts from her for two years, according to court records.

The girl, who is between the ages of 13 and 15, according to records, told investigators Trevino touched her breast under her clothes and touched her buttocks above her clothes more than once at the church, according to court records. Trevino also touched her buttocks at Potter Park Zoo once while at a holiday party.

Lansing police received a report from the girl’s mother in March, who said her daughter had been molested on multiple occasions by Trevino, records show.

The alleged abuse occurred at Trevino’s home, the girl’s home, the Bread House South church and Potter Park Zoo.

The Bread House South church did not respond for comment Wednesday. Trevino did not have an attorney listed in court records.

Trevino asked the girl to send him naked photos over Snapchat, a social media application that erases photos and texts after they are sent. He also sent her photos and videos of his penis, records show.

He faces nine charges, including four counts of fourth-degree criminal sexual conduct, one count of child sexually abusive activity, one count of accosting a child for immoral purposes and two counts of using a computer to commit a crime.
