A Brentwood pastor pleaded guilty Tuesday to sexual exploitation of a child, according to the U.S. Department of Justice.

As News 12 has reported, Jose Saez Jr. had been accused of sexually exploiting dozens of children while he was the pastor of the Iglesia Cristiana Alumbranda El Camino Church.

“The defendant’s sexual exploitation of minors, both in person and online, is horrific, and he now faces at least 15 years in prison for his unspeakable crimes,” stated United States Attorney John J. Durham. “That he held a position of trust and responsibility as a pastor of a local church makes his conduct even more reprehensible. Protecting vulnerable children from predators like this defendant will always be a priority of this Office.”

When sentenced, Saez Jr. faces up to 30 years in prison.
