A pastor has been arrested after he allegedly molested several children – including a 13-year-old girl he had illegally married.
Jose Morales, 49, was arrested at his home in Phoenix after the mother of one of his victims alerted police.
She noticed her daughter, 17, had been self-harming as a result of the sexual abuse Morales allegedly did to her five years earlier.
An investigation is ongoing but police have so far found the pastor molested at least five girls over a 30-year period.
Morales came to Arizona in 1986 at the age of 19.
