Two pastors have been arrested and charged with failure to report child abuse, a class A misdemeanor, following the arrest of a former youth minister, Angel De Los Santos, 26, charged with six counts of sexual assault of a child on Sept. 8.
Cpl. Steve LeSueur, spokesman for the Odessa Police Department, said in a release that Donald Haislett, 51, and his wife Gina, 50, were arrested Tuesday afternoon after the couple reportedly conducted their own investigation into the incident and did not report information to authorities within the required 48 hours.
LeSueur reported that Donald and Gina Haislett met with OPD detectives and agents with the Department of Homeland Security Sept. 24 and admitted to conducting their own investigation after they were made aware of the reported abuse on July 30.
According to the report a three-week investigation was conducted by Donald and Gina Haislett.
