Former megachurch pastor Geronimo Aguilar, 45, was found guilty of sexually assaulting two sisters in Grapevine and Fort Worth almost 20 years ago.

Aguilar, founder of the Richmond Outreach Center (ROC) in Richmond, Virginia, stepped down from the megachurch in 2013 after being charged with aggravated sexual assault.

The assaults—which were said to have taken place before Aguilar founded ROC in 2001—date back to 1996. The girls were 13 and 11 at the time of the assault. Two of the felonies he faces carry potential life sentences. Four of the counts carry maximum sentences of 20 years.

Aguilar was convicted on all seven counts, including two counts of aggravated sexual assault on a child, three counts of sexual assault of a child under 17, and two counts of indecency with a child.

The former megachurch pastor said he was "very surprised" when the alleged victims, who are now adults, made the accusations, which he called "extremely hurtful."
