MEXICO CITY | Thu Jan 26, 2012

(Reuters) – Mexican police have arrested a Las Vegas pastor who they said was hiding out in Tijuana after being accused of sexually abusing several minors in the United States.

Otis Holland, 55, had tried to flee a house in the border city but was captured by officers who had surrounded the area, senior local police official Alfredo Arenas said on Thursday

“This type of crime has no place in society. We will not let such cruel acts as those committed by this person go unpunished,” Arenas said in a statement. “Our work is done … now we hope he’ll be punished with all the weight of the law.”
