A youth group leader from a Baltimore church has been charged with the sexual abuse of two teenagers. Raymond Fernandez, 49, was arrested Friday morning and is being held at the Baltimore County Detention Center. According to police a victim recently came forward to report that Fernandez had sexually abused him in 1997 while he served as a church youth group leader at Greater Grace Church on Moravia Park Drive. The victim reported that he had been abused during youth group functions and at the suspect's home. Detectives then learned that the suspect had sexually abused a second victim, also from the church youth group, in 1997. Detectives believe that there may be additional victims and are asking anyone with information to contact the Baltimore County Police Crimes Against Children Unit at 410-853-3000.
