CLINTON–A pastor was arrested on charges of sexual assault of two woman, one of which is a teenager.
On April 2 Pastor Francisco Moran, 57, of Clinton, was arrested on two outstanding warrants after a long investigation that revealed he had unwanted sexual contact with two parishioners. He is the pastor at The Good Samaritan Church in Old Lyme.
Allegedly, Moran sexually assaulted the two victims on separate occasions in the summer of 2014 in a private home in Clinton. Both victims recently came forward, separately, to disclose the assaults to Clinton Police. Apparently, Moran had threatened them with deportation if they talked about the assaults.
The specific charges against Moran are risk of injury/impairing the morals of a minor, two counts of sexual assault in the fourth degree and two counts of coercion.
