Geronimo Aguilar, senior pastor of the Richmond Outreach Center, began sexually assaulting an 11-year old girl and her 13-year old sister in October 1996 while living in their parents’ home, according to arrest warrants issued in Fort Worth, Texas last month.
The two warrants, sworn out by Fort Worth Detective D.L. Nash, accuse Aguilar of having sex with the two girls for more than a year.
According to the warrants, Aguilar was taken into the home after the girls’ parents followed him from California to Fort Worth to join him at a church called New Beginnings.
Texas authorities have charged Aguilar with seven felonies in two cases. Four of those charges carry sentences of up to life in prison.
Aguilar is free on bail and on paid leave from the South Richmond megachurch known as the ROC.
