US Edition‘Cult’ church member molested small boy while his children napped, new victim says
- Jonathan Santos, 23, a former member of Tucson's Golden Dawn Tabernacle, shared that Jose Mora, another congregant, sexually victimized him during his childhood; Mora has admitted to abusing a different boy and faces related charges.
- These allegations surfaced amid reports by about twenty former members who described the church as a cult and claimed abuse allegations were ignored and children repeatedly put at risk.
- In April, Mora faced multiple charges related to child molestation and sexual conduct with a minor, following an investigation by a public service journalism team; the pastor was aware of the abuse but did not report it, violating mandatory reporting laws.
- Santos recounted that the abuse took place twice when he was between the ages of 7 and 9, and shared that revealing his experience helped ease the weight of his trauma. However, he expressed doubt that any action would be taken if he were the sole person testifying.
- The ongoing investigation includes the pastor for failing to report abuse allegations, and Tucson police encourage anyone with information about Mora, the pastor, or the church to contact the child sexual assault unit, underscoring the call for accountability and justice.
