A Clinton pastor has been arrested on sex assault charges after having “unwanted sexual contact” with a woman and teenage girl who attend the Good Samaritan Church in Old Lyme, according to police.

According to police, Francisco Moran, 57, sexually assaulted the female parishioners on two separate occasions at a home in Clinton during the summer of 2014. He threatened to deport them if they told anyone, police said.

Both victims reported the unwanted contact to Clinton police, who launched an investigation.

Moran was arrested Thursday on two warrants charging him with two counts of fourth-degree sexual assault, two counts of coercion and one count of risk of injury to/impairing the morals of a minor.
