flag A Tucson church member is accused of abusing boys for years, with leaders allegedly ignoring warnings.

flag A man known as Marcello has accused Jose Mora, a member of the Golden Dawn Tabernacle church in Tucson, of sexually abusing him hundreds of times during church services starting at age 11, alleging the abuse included groping and a rape at age 14, with Mora allegedly concealing actions under a blazer. flag Marcello said church policies placing children near adults enabled the abuse, and he remained silent for years due to fear of ostracization. flag He is the third boy to make similar allegations, and an Arizona Daily Star investigation found church leaders, including Pastor Isaac Noriega, were aware but failed to act. flag Noriega denies all claims, calling them false and financially motivated, while Mora has not commented. flag Authorities have charged Mora with child molestation and Noriega with failing to report suspected abuse.
