A former employee of Peoples Church of Fresno was jailed Wednesday night for allegedly sexually assaulting a 15-year-old girl who volunteered for the church.
Casey Ogden allegedly molested the girl in 2011 on church property, Fresno Police Deputy Chief Pat Farmer said Friday.
Ogden, who was 24 at the time of the alleged assault, was arrested on suspicion of having sex with a minor under the age of 16, Farmer said. Ogden remained in Fresno County Jail on Friday evening, with bail set at $50,000. Ogden didn’t have a prior criminal history, Farmer said.
Church leaders said Ogden worked as a part-time technical director from August 2009 to May 2012 and was never part of the pastoral staff.
