A former pastor of a non-denominational Christian church in Buena Park is expected to receive a life sentence Friday for molesting an 8-year-old female friend of his daughter’s and possessing videos and images of child pornography on his computers.

Christopher Raymond Olague, 44, who was also convicted Nov. 3 of kidnapping the victim to commit a child molestation and attempting to dissuade a witness from cooperating with authorities.

Olague was acquitted of lewd acts on another victim, who is a relative, and using a minor for sex acts. Jurors also found true a sentencing enhancement for kidnapping a victim during a molestation, but denied a sentencing-enhancing allegation of multiple victims.

Just before the trial began, charges related to a third alleged victim were dropped because she did not want to testify, Deputy District Attorney Lexie Elliott said.
