Jonathan Macy was accused of molesting children while they were at a chapel for church services, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.

A Christian school employee is in police custody for allegedly molesting two children who were attending Sunday services.

Jonathan Macy, 31, was cuffed by California police on Wednesday morning after an investigation into the abuse, CBS reports.

The Lancaster man is an employee at the Grace Chapel Church, which is on the same campus as the Desert Christian School.

After allegations arose that he had sexual contact with a young girl on Aug. 5, a second victim stepped forward.

Both children apparently knew the teacher. The molestations reportedly occurred while the girls were attending services at Grace Chapel.

Macy is also employed as a teacher at St. Mary’s School in Palmdale, but cops have not gotten any reports of molestations at that location.

The man’s bail was placed at a hefty $1.2 million.
