Victor Taxgomez
A former pastor was sentenced to eight years in prison for molesting three victims between September 2011 and May 2015, San Mateo County prosecutors said.
Victor Taxgomez, 50, also known as Ever Oliveros-Cano, was a pastor for Senor Justicia Nuestra Church in Menlo Park, according to the San Mateo County District Attorney’s Office.
When the victims were 13, 15 and 17, Taxgomez committed the crimes while claiming to be praying with or cleansing the victims at the church, prosecutors said. Two of the victims were sisters and a third was a friend.
Two years later, one of the victims told a therapist that the crime had happened and the therapist reported it to Menlo Park police. Taxgomez was arrested on June 1, 2017.
Two victims presented a victim’s impact statement during the sentencing hearing on Friday.
Judge Donald Ayoub denied probation and sentenced Taxgomez to eight years in prison, lifetime registration as a sex offender and ordered him to have no contact with the victims.
