A Germantown, Maryland, man was arrested Monday and charged with sexually abusing minors at the Montgomery County church where he taught, according to police.
Ervin Jeovany Alfaro Lopez, now 33, is accused of sexually abusing at least four children between the ages of 6 and 12 between 2016 and 2018. Montgomery County police said they’re concerned there may be more victims that have not contacted them.
