After 12 years in hiding, a Mexican pastor accused of abusing 14 minors has been arrested.

The need to believe in something and be part of a community leads unscrupulous people to take advantage of the most vulnerable because of the position of power that gives them some kind of position. A similar case occurred more than a decade ago in the state of Veracruz, when a pastor abused 14 minors. After the accusations, he fled and was arrested 12 years later.

About Jorge “N”, who was the pastor of the Adventist Church in San Andrés los Tuxtla, Veracruz.. This position, coupled with the fact that he visited the homes of his parishioners, allowed him to gain the trust of families and thus abuse them and some minors.

It was in 2011 when the boy told his parents that he was in pain because he was attacked by a man.In addition, he gave important information that helped compose the dossier of the investigation: other children were victims of sexual harassment by believers, but were silent from fear.

The corresponding complaint was filed by the parents of the first child who discovered what kind of hell he lived in at the hands of a person who should be a spiritual mentor. They were joined by other victims, 14 in all..

After the condemnation the man ran away and was hiding from justice for 12 yearsbut everything changed in this year 2023 when the pastor was in the state of Hidalgo.

According to the Attorney General’s Office of the State of Veracruz, units of the Ministerial Police, in cooperation with the Hidalgo authorities, issued an arrest warrant.

It should be remembered that Mexico is one of the countries with the most sexual abuse of minors.. Every year, 5.4 million children and adolescents in the country are victims of sexual violence. Six out of 10 such rapes occur at home, and in 60% of cases the perpetrator is a relative or close family member.
