Steven Yablonski and Peter D'Oench report:
The pastor of a Miami church has been arrested after he was accused of inappropriately touching and trying to repeatedly kiss a 15-year-old girl, according to the Miami-Dade Sheriff's Office.
"According to investigators, the victim, who was 15 years old, reported to deputies that the pastor of her church on several occasions fondled her behind and rubbed against her thighs and attempted to kiss her. The mom also observed several text messages that were inappropriate and caused concern and alarm in her," MDSO Detective Angel Rodriguez said.
The victim said that the incident took place at Theophile Church, located at 15201 Northwest 7th Avenue in Miami.
The sheriff's office said that the teen's mother also reported that she read inappropriate text messages that the suspect, who has since been identified as 50-year-old Elco Vallier, allegedly sent to her daughter, which "caused her concern."
