A Long Beach-based priest was charged in Ventura County with possession of child pornography, prosecutors said.
A Long Beach-based priest on Thursday was charged in Ventura County with possession of child pornography, prosecutors said.
"As a priest, the defendant is in a position of tremendous power, authority and trust. The alleged crimes deeply violate that trust and involve a disturbing number of sexual images of young boys," District Attorney Erik Nasarenko said in a statement. "These are not simply images and videos. Rather, if found true, they constitute horrific exploitation of our most vulnerable, and the actions of the defendant must be met by the full force of the law.
In a statement, the Archdiocese of Los Angeles said Martinez-Guevara is not a priest with the archdiocese but is affiliated with the Missionaries of the Holy Spirit Religious Order.
