Los Angeles’s Fox affiliate reports:
The Riverside Police said their investigation began in May 2024, after a man reported that his pastor, Juan Barrios, had assaulted him for years, beginning when he was just nine years old.
After that man came forward, police said his younger brother came forward to report similar claims of sexual abuse against Barrios. The brothers said they were abused between 2009 and 2015, when their family was living with the pastor at his Riverside home.
Barrios has been the pastor at Iglesia de Dios Israelita in Fullerton. Officers said that because of his position and the nature of the accusations, they believe there may be other victims who haven’t come forward yet.
