South Salt Lake police have arrested an Oregon pastor for allegedly sexting and touching a 15-year-old.
Police arrested Leonel Rocha-Pereda, 66, on Wednesday morning on suspicion of sexually abusing a minor, enticing a minor over the Internet and sexual exploitation of a minor. As of Thursday afternoon, he had not been formally charged in 3rd District Court.
Rocha-Pereda, of Salem, Ore., had been e-mailing the girl since July, and in mid-September, made a trip to Salt Lake City to start a new church, according to a police news release.
The girl told police that the man was the pastor of her church.
