一名Tucson教会成员被指控虐待男孩多年,据称领导人无视警告。
A Tucson church member is accused of abusing boys for years, with leaders allegedly ignoring warnings.
名叫Marcello的男子指控Tucson的Golden Dawn Tabernacle教堂成员Jose Mora在11岁开始的教堂服务期间对他进行了数百次性凌辱,指控虐待包括手淫和14岁强奸,据称Mora躲在一件皮衣下面。
A man known as Marcello has accused Jose Mora, a member of the Golden Dawn Tabernacle church in Tucson, of sexually abusing him hundreds of times during church services starting at age 11, alleging the abuse included groping and a rape at age 14, with Mora allegedly concealing actions under a blazer.
Marcelo说,将儿童安置在成年人附近的教会政策助长了这种虐待,由于害怕被排斥,他多年来一直保持沉默。
Marcello said church policies placing children near adults enabled the abuse, and he remained silent for years due to fear of ostracization.
他是提出类似指控的第三个男孩,亚利桑那州Daily Star调查发现,包括Isaac Noriega牧师在内的教会领导人知道此事,但没有采取行动。
He is the third boy to make similar allegations, and an Arizona Daily Star investigation found church leaders, including Pastor Isaac Noriega, were aware but failed to act.
Noriega否认所有指控,称其为虚假和有经济动机,而Mora则未作评论。
Noriega denies all claims, calling them false and financially motivated, while Mora has not commented.
当局指控Mora犯有猥亵儿童罪, Noriega 则指控其未举报涉嫌虐待。
Authorities have charged Mora with child molestation and Noriega with failing to report suspected abuse.
