Special Victims Investigations Division (SVID) have charged Octavio Cantarero, age 42, of the 24300 block of Hilton Place in Gaithersburg,
with committing sexual offenses, to include a fourth-degree sexual
offense (sexual contact) and attempted second-degree rape, against a
minor. Cantarero is a Pastor at the Iglesia Pentecostal Principe De Paz
which is located on Earhart Court in Gaithersburg. At the time of the
offenses, the juvenile victim was a congregant of the church.
In May 2019, the victim reported the offenses to police and SVID detectives began an investigation.

SVID detectives determined that when the victim met Cantarero, he told
her that she was too young to live alone and provided her with a room at
the church to use. On January 16, 2019, the pastor brought the victim
to a room in the church that had a bed and stated that the two would
sleep there. During the night, the victim woke up to Cantarero
attempting to rape her. The victim resisted. Cantarero asked the
victim not to tell anyone about the incident and that he could help pay
for her clothes, rent, and school. He also stated that her demons had
provoked him.
