Santa Ana, CA (AHN) - A 44-year-old pastor from Anaheim, California has pleaded guilty to molesting five minors from 1996 to 2006 and has been sentenced to 90 years imprisonment for the crime.

Superior Court Judge Francisco Bruseno sentenced Raul Rosas Hernandez of the Faith in Action Church on Monday for admitting to 34 counts of felony sex charges, including videotaping himself engaging in various sex acts with a 13-year-old parishioner in his church's office.

A handcuffed Hernandez cried while clutching a Bible behind his back upon hearing the sentence in the courtroom.

Hernandez molested four girls and one boy over a 10-year period until his arrest in 2006.
