A Brentwood pastor accused of sexually exploiting dozens of children is now charged with targeting four more victims.
Jose Saez Jr. was arraigned in federal court Wednesday after a grand jury issued a 12-count superseding indictment.
Saez Jr. was the pastor of the Iglesia Cristiana Alumbrando El Camino Church when he allegedly targeted the children.
Teresa Ferrera is a sexual assault survivor who has found help and helped others through the organization SNAP, the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests. She said parents need to teach their children to speak up if they ever feel uncomfortable.
"They need to hear from their parents the minute you feel uncomfortable, go to somebody,” she said. “Go to anybody, even if they're afraid to tell Mommy, go to somebody."
Saez Jr. pleaded not guilty to all charges.
