EL MONTE (CBSLA.com) —A 20-year-old Christian school volunteer has been accused of molesting at least five children.
Johnny Beserra III was arrested in late May at his home on more than a dozen counts of felony lewd acts with a child, including oral copulation and sodomy.
He pleaded not guilty to the charges and is being held on $9 million bail.
The incidents, which occurred at the United Pentecostal Church & El Monte Christian Academy, date back four years, police said.
“We have identified five victims,” El Monte police Lt. Christopher Williams said. “We’re concerned also because the victims are not specific to any sex or any age range. Everything from elementary school to junior high to high school.”
