Henderson police are looking for a Las Vegas pastor wanted in connection with the sexual assault of underage girls.

Otis Holland, 54, is wanted on 11 counts of sexual assault of a victim under age 16, a count of child abuse and a count of conspiracy to commit a crime, police said.

Police issued the warrant last week, but said Holland may have fled to California.

In December, Holland was arrested on three counts of sexual assault of a victim under age 16. During the investigation, police said they discovered allegations that Holland may have had inappropriate conduct with other minors.

Holland was then arrested in January on a felony count of lewdness with a minor under age 14, police said.

The most recent arrest warrant comes from an investigation in which two other girls came forward earlier this month, police said.

Holland is a pastor at United Faith Church, which held services in the lobby of a tax service business on Hacienda Avenue in Las Vegas.

Police said the sexual assaults happened at different locations in Las Vegas and Henderson. Holland was last known to be staying at a home on Sail Rock Place in North Las Vegas.

Anyone with information in this case is urged to call the Henderson Police Department at 702-267-4750. To remain anonymous, call Crime Stoppers at 702-385-5555 or visit its web site. Tips leading to an arrest or an indictment called into Crime Stoppers may result in a cash reward.
