Chilling charges have been brought against a New Jersey pastor. He’s accused of forcing teenaged girls to videotape him and a woman from his congregation having sex at a motel.
Prosecutors say Pastor Moises Cotto had a shocking, dirty secret. Investigators say the trusted pastor of Congregation of Yahweh in Newark was forcing teenaged girls to videotape him having sex with his girlfriend at a Linden motel.
One woman, a member of the church, says she was surprised to hear the allegations, and called Cotto a decent man.
Neighbors say they’re disgusted by the charges.
“It’s a shame, it’s a real shame,” Newark resident Jose Sanchez said.
Prosecutors say Cotto was having an affair with Brenda Pabon, a woman he had been counseling and frequently meeting at the Linden motel.
Investigators say on several occasions, Cotto forced two teenaged girls to videotape him and Pabon having sex at the Benedict Motel. He’s also accused of taking nude photos with one teen and sexually assaulting another teen who resisted his demands.
“We can’t walk the people to their rooms, you know, that’s not how you conduct business,” Benedict Motel owner David Nathanson said. “Once we check them in and we find that their IDs match who they are, we’ve done our share. I wish there was something more we could do, but unfortunately, our hands are kind of tied as business and motel owners.”
Prosecutors say Cotto was busted after one of the teens told her parents about the abuse, which allegedly had happened several times a week starting in 2008.
Nathanson says he’s troubled he could not have prevented the sex abuse that allegedly happened in his motel.
Cotto was arrested at his home on Monday, and is being held on $1.3 million bail. Pabon turned herself in Tuesday, and is being held on $750,000 bail.
This mofo was using the building fund to buy video equipment and had teenagers tape him while performing that holy stroke? Word? For real? Wow!
….. I guess.
