For the sexual abuse case involving religious leader Naason Joaquin Garcia, Atty. Gen. Xavier Becerra on Thursday urged other potential victims to come forward.
Naason Joaquin Garcia, leader of Mexico-based La Luz del Mundo church, appears in Los Angeles County Superior Court on Wednesday.
“We have a great apprehension that Mr. Garcia will raise the money to get a bond to bail himself out,” Becerra said. “We have provided the court information to back up the credible fear we have.” Garcia, the international president of the largest evangelical church in Mexico, was arrested on Monday at Los Angeles International Airport on human trafficking, child porn, rape and other charges.
Ocampo is being held on a bail of $25 million and Oaxaca on $5 million. Melendez is currently at large. Eliezer Gutierrez, a spokesman for La Luz del Mundo who leads one of its churches in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, said he was shocked when he heard the charges against Garcia, who as a teenager led a church youth group Gutierrez had belonged to.
