Pastor accused of child molestation

MinhNguyen

A long time Vietnamese pastor has been arrested for allegedly molesting a young female relative.

A San Jose pastor is under arrest for allegedly molesting a female relative starting at the age of 10.

Fifty-one-year-old Minh Van Nguyen is the senior pastor at the First Vietnamese Alliance Church. He's been held without bail since his arrest on Oct. 2.

The alleged victim, who's now 22, told investigators that the abuse happened over a four-year period at a location away from the church.

The standard questions apply here. How can a man who serves Jesus, inflict harm on a child? It does not add up. But then, it never does.

I found this story on Onanite.

I've known pastor Nguyen and his family for over 10+ years. He is an nice and honorable man. He wouldn't do such thing to his family. We will be praying for you and your family. May God be with you ...the truth will be prevailed.
I'm curious what evidence was presented that convicted him? Could it be the case of false accusation? I want to believe in truth and justice, but this incident seems hard to believe when those who knows the pastor says that he is a kind and God fearing man.

Was he convicted? Do you have credible evidence of a false accusation?
Do you really think a child molester will advertise what they do? The majority of molesters are said to be "Nice" and "Good" people.
And yes he was convicted of 288(a) PC. Any evidence gathered in an investigation would never be released to the media. But the case is now public record and you can go to the Santa Clara County Court to see the file.
