RICHMOND, Va. (WRIC) — It was the story that made headlines for more than two years. Last month, former Richmond Mega Church Pastor Geronimo Aguilar was guilty of sexually assaulting two young girls when he was their youth pastor in Fort Worth, Texas back in the 1990s.

Nancy Mohr one of the victims spoke exclusively with 8News immediately after the verdict was read.

“I am so thankful to the jury I am so thankful to everybody who sat and listened, believed us for the first time,” she said.

For Mohr and her sister Lani Vallejo, both victims, said the guilty verdict brought a sense of closure and vindication.

Vallejo told 8News, “I just didn’t think this day would ever come.”
