A 50-year-old pastor of an Inglewood church has been arrested on suspicion of engaging in "substantial sexual acts" with a 14-year-old girl, deputies said Thursday night.

The Rev. Gordon Solomon allegedly met the girl through his involvement as senior pastor at Christ's Community Church, 234 Hindry Ave., deputies said.

"An ongoing affinity developed and continued for approximately the past two years," sheriff's Sgt. Dan Scott of the department's Special Victims Bureau said in a statement.

"Solomon and the victim exchanged numerous emails and texts of a sexual nature and met at various locations." The victim's mother called deputies when she discovered an explicit text from Solomon on her daughter's phone.

Solomon, who is married, was arrested Wednesday on suspicion of lewd acts upon a child. He was held on $3 million bail.

Investigators said they have reason to believe there might be more victims and suggested anyone with information contact detectives at 877-710-LASD.
