A former Magnolia-area pastor was sentenced to 75 years in prison after sexually assaulting a teen who lived in his home, according to the Montgomery County District Attorney’s Office.

Ronald Wayne Mitchell, 59, was found guilty on five charges of sexual assault of a child, a second-degree felony. He received 15 years for each charge on Tuesday, all stacked to a total 75 years in a Texas Department of Criminal Justice facility.

Members of the church moved in with Mitchell, and their children were homeschooled. A search of the residence found that up to seven families lived there, Hebert said.

The victim told her mother about the abuse in October 2016, later telling investigators that she was fondled and raped from 2015 to 2016.  She was 15 at the time.

The pastor told the teenager that if she ever told anyone about the abuse, that “she would be killed by God and it would be her fault that ‘the movement’ was destroyed,” according to the district attorney’s office.
