Police said they’re working with leadership of the Santa Rosa church to determine whether there are more potential victims.

A 55-year-old Santa Rosa man is accused of sexually abusing a minor he met while volunteering at a local church, police said.

Drue Mordecai was arrested Thursday on suspicion of 12 charges related to the investigation and remains behind bars in lieu of $3 million bail, according to a Santa Rosa Police Department news release.

The day prior to Mordecai’s arrest, the Santa Rosa Police Department’s Sexual Assault and Domestic Violence Team began a sexual assault investigation that involved a “Small Group Leader” at New Vintage Church and a juvenile victim, police Sgt. Christopher Mahurin said.
