A church pastor is under arrest for sexually abusing children, and New York State Police say there could be many victims who have yet to come forward.
Ray Harriger, 70, is charged with two counts of course of sexual conduct, two counts of incest and four counts of sodomy. The charges stem from crimes he is accused of committing between 2000 and 2001. He is the pastor of Community Fellowship Church in Albion. Police say the victims, who are now adults, reported the abuse two months ago. At least 10 other victims have come forward, some of them from Michigan and Pennsylvania where Harriger also lived. State Police say some of those allegations date back to the 70s.
Harriger is being held in the Orleans County Jail on $250,000 bail. If you have any more information in regards to this case, you are asked to call State Police in Albion at (585) 589-4244.
