A Florida pastor accused of molesting a teenage boy says he was possessed by the devil, according to local police.
The Rev. Angel Perez, 45, of Templo Pentecostal Puerta de Salvacion in Kissimmee, Fla., was arrested May 10 after police received a tip Perez had engaged in sexual acts with a 16-year-old member of his congregation, Kissimmee police spokeswoman Stacie Miller told the Daily News.
He is charged with unlawful sexual activity with certain minors.
The teen told police he viewed Perez as a father figure, and agreed to spend the night at his home on three separate occasions between September and January, when Perez touched him inappropriately.
