A southern California pastor is facing 18 charges of sexual abuse against children, including sexual intercourse and sodomy, the Ontario Police Department announced in a press release last week.
Jose Alcides Vasquez, 47, was arrested and charged with sexually assaulting multiple girls younger than 10 at his former residence in Ontario, California, police reported.
Vasquez recently worked as the head pastor at the Menifee location of Iglesia De Cristo Camino De Santidad—a multisite, international church ministering primarily to Spanish-speakers. Prior to this, Vasquez pastored and volunteered at several other nearby churches, according to police.
The pastor’s charges include three counts of lewd or lascivious acts with a minor; 10 counts of sexual intercourse/sodomy with a child younger than 10 years old; two counts of sexual penetration/oral copulation with a child younger than 10 years old; and three counts of aggravated circumstances sex offenses.
According to court records, victims claim the sexual abuse occurred between 2010-2014. Police did not specify if Vasquez’s alleged assaults were tied to his work as a pastor.
Vasquez now lives in Menifee, about 50 miles south of Ontario and 80 miles southwest of Los Angeles.
Officials first learned of Vasquez’s alleged sexual abuses in August 2021 when a high school administrator told police that a student claimed her neighbor had sexually assaulted her. The student identified her neighbor as Vasquez, police reported.
Then another victim came forward in July 2024 and testified against Vasquez. Her allegations gave “additional evidence that further incriminated Vasquez,” police said.
Police arrested and charged Vasquez at his home “without incident” on September 5.
Vasquez is currently in jail at the West Valley Detention Center on a bond of $500,000 according to San Bernardino Superior court records. He has pleaded not guilty to all charges.
The pastor had a hearing on Monday and will next appear in court for a preliminary hearing on September 23, according to court records.
Police are urging any additional victims to come forward.
Established in Los Angeles, the mission of Iglesia de Cristo Camino de Santidad is to “preach the gospel to as many places may our Lord Jesus Christ send us to,” according to the church’s website.
The church has locations based in California, Texas, Oregon, Honduras, Mexico, Guatemala, and El Salvador.
While the church’s website currently does not mention its Menifee location, an archived version of the webpage does. The archived page lists Vasquez as the Menifee pastor.
The Roys Report (TRR) reached out to Iglesia de Cristo Camino de Santidad for comment but did not hear back prior to publication.
How does one even pronounce his middle name?

Now I wonder if he’s legal or doing the crime.. oh skip it.

And pastor Al is a heretic and pervert, just like Mad Mo the false prophet of ISlime.
Alcides (Ἀλκείδης, Alkeidēs) was the birth-name of Herakles (Hercules).

Al will be Very popular.,.
Here in Denver the local flea market is heavily attended by Mexicans and other Hispanics (but mostly Mexicans). It’s unbelievable all of the dresses they have hanging all around the edges of many of the booths. These are dresses for little girls from toddlers to grade school age, and they all look like hooker dresses. Some even have suggestive sayings on them. It’s sick.
There’s a reason there’s so many people in Latin America. I will say, though, that their weather girls are eye-poppingly spectacular.
And Mexican women are known for their fertility. They will get pregnant if they use someone else’s toothbrush.
Whaaaaattt? What kind of bs is thzt?? I’m out. Ping me tmro!
Jail for life for the pervy pedo pastor. The inmates should eventually get a hold of him. God judges fairly, if he is a false believer....Hell is not nice.
Iglesia De Cristo- Isn’t that the spanish version of Jehovah witness?
Isn’t raping and sodomizing young girls a badge of honor in California? Should this guy be getting some awards or promoted to some top political position?
LOL! I love that song.
That’s a lot of info. Thanks.
Organized religion!.
Why rob banks?
Because that’s where the money is.
Why be a pastor, preacher, priest, teacher, coach, Boy Scout Leader, etc.?
Because that’s where the children are.

Non-trinitrian (cult), started in the Phillipines.
Many years ago while eating out we saw a young couple enter the restaurant. Walking with them was their daughter, 5-6 years of age, wearing a shirt with the words "Genuine Virgin". Very sick.
