A 41-year-old Santa Ana man was behind bars Friday on suspicion of sexually assaulting four girls he met through his ties to a Jehovah’s Witnesses church in Santa Ana, police said.

Jose Luis Aguilera was arrested at his home Friday on suspicion of molesting four girls he met through a Kingdom Hall Jehovah’s Witness Church in Santa Ana, where their families worship, according to Santa Ana police Cpl. Anthony Bertagna.

The girls are 9 to 12 years old, and the alleged sexual assaults began in the spring of 2014, when the suspect lived in Tustin, Bertagna said.

The most recent alleged sexual assault happened in July, Bertagna said.

Police learned of the allegations after one of the girls told her family about the incidents, Bertagna said.
