A Lake Forest pastor was convicted Wednesday of sexually assaulting five boys and now faces a maximum sentence of 330 years to life in state prison, Orange County prosecutors said.

Oscar D. Perez, 69, knew the boys through their church in Laguna Hills and assaulted them when they stayed over at his apartment or came for visits, according to a statement from the Orange County district attorney’s office.

Perez was “found guilty by a jury of 22 felony counts of lewd acts upon a child under 14, four felony counts of lewd acts on a child and sentencing enhancement allegations for lewd acts against multiple victims,” the statement said.
