Authorities Thursday sought additional potential sexual assault victims tied to a 68-year-old pastor of a Compton church charged with committing lewd acts upon a minor.
Quintilo Sagrero was the pastor at the Templo Pentecostal El Camino Church in the 1500 block of East Alondra Boulevard, near Long Beach Boulevard.
He was taken into custody on Nov. 6 and held on $200,000 bail, according to the Sheriff’s Information Bureau.
Sagrero has been charged by the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office with two counts of committing lewd acts upon a child, authorities said.
“Based on the nature of the offenses, detectives believe there may be additional unidentified victims and are seeking the public’s help in identifying any additional victims,” the sheriff’s department said in a statement.
Anyone with information regarding the alleged assault or victims wanting to come forward was urged to call Special Victims Bureau Sgt. Oscar Lopez at 562-946-7013. Tipsters who prefer to remain anonymous can call CrimeStoppers at 800-222-8477 or visit lacrimestoppers.org.
