The former pastor at an East Bay church for Central American immigrants changed his plea Wednesday - guilty to forcible rape and child molestation involving five young victims. We first investigated this case one year ago when the primary victim's family came to the I-Team, complaining that the police would not return their calls. Dan Noyes was back in a Martinez courtroom to hear details of the plea deal. 

As Jane Doe #1 gave her victim impact statement, she began crying hard and her parents rose to stand by her side for support. "I saw no way out," she said. "And all of this torture in my head, in my mind, in my body, in my health. Why? Because he's supposedly a pastor." 

Fifty-four-year-old Victor Hernandez-Pineda was arrested almost a year ago after the I-Team investigated complaints from several families, that the pastor at Richmond's Iglesia Pentecostes Movimiento de Gloria had sexually abused their daughters.
