Another religious predator is off the streets. But in this case, not before inflecting massive damage on two innocent young girls. Pentecostal Pastor Modesto Reyes was sentenced to 24 years in prison for impregnating two young girls, aged 11 and 13. I posted on Reyes back in July of 07.
As his family members and parishioners looked on, Pentecostal pastor Modesto Reyes was sentenced to 24 years imprisonment for sexually assaulting two young female members of his congregation.
One of the victims, who was 11 years old when Reyes first befriended her, bore a child in May 2006. The other girl, a 13-year-old, also became pregnant but subsequently miscarried.
During the sentencing hearing, prosecutor Sandra Tullius said that when the second girl became pregnant Reyes suggested to her horrified family that she have an abortion and suggested homeopathic remedies that would cause the girl's pregnancy to be terminated.
Reyes still had the support of his church, even after he was found guilty. I can not understand why this happens. This man tried to convince the family of a 13-year-old girl to use homeopathic remedies to induce an abortion. How can anyone look at him without the desire to smash his skull in?
I'm not interested enough in Reyes to keep him in my news filter. When they find him dead in a shower with a shiv in his back, I will not morn (or post) for him.
