A trial was set to begin Tuesday for an Orange County pastor accused of sexually assaulting five boys who were parishioners at his Laguna Hills church.
Oscar D. Perez, 69, is accused of assaulting the boys, who were 9 to 15 years old at the time, between 2007 and 2011, according to the Orange County District Attorney’s office.
Opening arguments are expected to begin Tuesday in a Santa Ana courtroom.
Perez reportedly was an Apostolic pastor at Iglesia Antigua, a church that rented space at St. George’s Episcopalian Church. He allegedly met the victims there and had them assist with church services.
