A church deacon has been arrested on charges he raped a 13-year-old girl at a Bensalem motel two years ago, police announced Thursday.
District Judge Leonard Brown arraigned Humberto Cervantes, 34, of Coatesville, on nine offenses and ordered him held on $1 million bail. Police said Cervantes was a deacon at a Trenton Pentecostal church when he befriended the alleged victim, now 15.
Police said Cervantes met with the alleged victim several times in Bensalem.
The two "went to a few parks and talked about church, life, and family," police said. "On the final visit, when the victim believed they were going to a park, Cervantes took her to a Bensalem motel and raped her," police alleged.

how is it that a 13 year old girl frequents parks unsupervised with a grown man without parental intervention...where were her parents?
I have a 13 yo daughter and I know where she is and with whom..always.
Behind every double standard lies an unconfessed single standard.
Rape is a little more than befriending.
If only the Pentecostals had a married clergy ...
I have a 13 year old daughter and this a$$hole would be singing soprano already (if he survived the beating)
After clicking your link, I’ve concluded that somebody has an agenda.
I’m not Catholic but I know an agenda when I see one.
I can’t believe a word of this. The media tells us ONLY Catholic priests do things like this and they NEVER lie do they?
I have a 14 year old daughter, I’d simply assassinate the rapist. I’m old, I could spend the rest of my life in prison on the tax payers dime, no problem.

Girl Says Minister Abused Her for Years
Courthouse News Service, Monday, December 31, 2012
Riverside, Calif. (CN) - New Wine Ministries pastor Matthias Anderson sexually assaulted a 13-year-old girl and continued molesting her for three years, the girl claims in court.
Jane Doe sued Anderson, New Wine Ministries, the Life Project Community & Family Transformation Center, and three other people: Marc Anderson, Matthias’ brother and also a pastor at New Wine; Matthias Anderson’s wife, and New Wine administrator Debra Flores.
Matthias Flores was sentenced to nine years in state prison for sexually assaulting her, the girl says in the complaint.
Doe says she met Matthias Flores in 2008, when she was 12. He became her pastor, and her mother “came to be employed by New Wine” while Matthias Flores was sexually molesting her, Doe claims in her Superior Court complaint.
