RICHMOND, Va. (WRIC) – Former Richmond Outreach Center Pastor Geronimo “Pastor G” Aguilar, who was indicted on child sex charges in Texas, says he will no longer participate in a Good Friday speaking engagement in Richmond.

Aguilar was one of seven religious leaders scheduled to preach at “Rush Hour to Calvary” at Cedar Street Baptist Church of God on April 18. But given the fact that Aguilar has been indicted on multiple charges of child sex abuse, Aguilar’s inclusion in the panel didn’t sit well with many members of the Richmond community.

On Wednesday, Pastor Dr. Roscoe Cooper III of Rising Mount Zion Baptist Church and Pastor Tyrone Nelson of Sixth Mount Zion Baptist Church, who were both scheduled to speak at the Good Friday Event, announced they had decided not to participate.
