(WASHINGTON) - A Washington man was arrested after he allegedly abused a boy for six years.

55-year-old Armando Bruno-Morales on three felony counts of child molesting.

According to a probable cause affidavit, police began investigating the allegations after the victim contacted police. Police say there is only one victim.

The victim says the abuse began in 1008 when he was 8-years-old. The victim told police Bruno was a pastor at the Hispanic Church on West Main Street where the family attended. Bruno also had lived with the family briefly and later stayed overnight as a guest. It was during that time the alleged sexual assaults happened.

The child claimed there were at least 15 occasions where he was sexually abused by Bruno and claims if he told anyone about the alleged abuse, Bruno had threatened to molest the victim even more.

Bruno at first denied the allegations, but later admitted to touching the boy in the groin area.
