A year ago, he was removed from Our Lady of Guadalupe Catholic Church in Ontario when allegations surfaced that he abused two brothers within last two years.He was arrested last October and initially pled "not guilty." But in Apri1, he changed his plea to "guilty.": He's expected to spend a year in jail be forced to register as sex offender.  The hearing will be at 8:30am in Rancho Cucamonga Superior Court, Dept. R18, 8303 N. Haven Ave. in Rancho Cucamonga (909) 350-9764  Castillo's victims are represented by Newport Beach attorneys Rebecca L. Rhoades (949 252 9990, cell 562 760 5743) and John Manly (949 252 990, cell 949 689 7895). Castillo's photo is at BishopAccountability.org  We applaud the brave victims who spoke up and helped police and prosecutor pursue this criminal. We hope tomorrow's court hearing will bring the victims and their families some healing. They should be proud that their courage has helped keep a child molester away from innocent kids.  And we urge every single person who saw, suspected or suffered Castillo's crimes to come forward, get help, call police, protect others and start healing.
