The Salinas-area pastor accused of molesting a mentally handicapped teenager was arraigned Friday in Salinas.
Bail for Donald Domelle, 53, was raised to $510,000 at the request of prosecutor Gary Thelander. His bail was previously set at $300,000, but Thelander said after reviewing the case against the pastor that the increase was justified.
The prosecutor said Domelle could face additional charges. Investigators are trying to determine whether he molested another girl, he said.
"At this point, what we know is that there is a second victim, with a second series of sexual assaults," Thelander said. "I'm pretty confident that we will be filing additional charges."
