Christopher Raymond Olague, Pastor Accused of Molesting Girl, 8, and Having Child Porn That Included Female Relative, 6, Pleads Not Guilty

Church pastor Christopher Raymond Olague pleaded not guilty at his arraignment last week to molesting an 8-year-old girl who was allegedly paid $40 not to say anything about being victimized and having child pornography on his computer that included a 6-year-old female relative. At the time of Olague's original arrest by Huntington Beach Police in October, the 31-year-old was identified as the head pastor of Refuge Southland Calvary Chapel in Buena Park, but "Calvary Chapel" has since been dropped from the name on the church website (although not the home page tag).

He was arrested Oct. 8 after picking the 8-year-old girl up with the stated purpose of driving her to his Westminster home for a playdate with one of his five daughters. Instead, police say, he drove the girl to a Huntington Beach grocery store parking lot. While still inside his vehicle, he allegedly rubbed her legs, thighs and arms; unbuttoned his pants and pulled them down slightly; and asked her to kiss him on the cheek.

Olaque, who was also an AYSO soccer coach, is accused of giving the girl $40 not to say anything and dropping her back off at her home. If true, it was the perfect crime--until the little girl told her mother. Mom then called police.

Investigators later served a search warrant of Olague's home that produced the computer said to have child porn that included the 6-year-old girl relative as a victim. Prosecutors say "graphic, sexually explicit child pornography images" were on the pastor's computer.

As a result of the increased charges, the pastor, who had made his original $100,000 bond, was taken back into custody in lieu of $1 million bail. The formal charges are: two felony counts of lewd acts on a child under 14, one felony count each of kidnapping for child molest, attempting to dissuade a witness, using a minor for sex acts, and possession and control of child pornography. He also faces sentencing enhancement allegations for kidnapping in the commission of a sexual assault and lewd acts against multiple victims.

If convicted, the husband of a fellow pastor could serve more than 43 years in state prison.

Yes, what has happened to "innocent till "proven" guilty. Because he has a lisp puts him in a category of heinous serial killers?

I understand what your saying, but unless your in his life, and follow him around day to day we don't know what "really" happened.

Let's see what transpires at his trial.

I knew the guy. He was also a pastor for the college group and another church that i went to. Never liked him. And the worst thing is that he has a lisp. So hes even more creepier now.

Zingnoo...church pastors "to boot" are the ones who fill a vast, vast list of pulpit perverts behind bars ....at many sites including stopbaptistpredators.org (their list is very detailed.)

The endless growing list of 'to boot' pastors are behind bars for incest, pedophilia, rapes, murders, theft and much more.

It is puplit pounding pastors who cultivate their pew sitters to be the many heinous serial killers and rapists behind bars ....Charles Manson, Ted Bundy, Ed Gein, Jeffrey Dahmer, one and all come from hard core rabid religious environs. The religiously fanatic murderer's death sentence handed down yesterday in Connecticut's home invasion rapes/murders is yet another one. His defense team claimed his religious fanatic family caused him to be what he is . . a murderous deviant. Then of course we have the growing list of fundamentalist parents slaughtering kids, Susan Smith, Andrea Yates, Melissa Huckaby are but a few of the hundreds, just recently a woman killed new born twins by drowning them in her religiously fanatic parents' toilet, the FLDS child deaths/pedophilia, the tens of thousands of priest's victims, in Australia the Catholic diocese orphanages were revealed to have killed tortured, enslaved and murdered 250,000 children.

While you say 'to boot' . . the rest of the informed world's citizens say "no surprise".
