Carrollton Police arrested 59-year-old Luis Escobar and 71-year-old Alvaro Jimenez on Tuesday, February 8 for allegedly sexually assaulting a 14-year-old girl in 2018.
Both men worked and lived at Ministerios Bethania USA, a church in Carrollton located off of Belt Line Road.
Escobar was a teacher who taught virtual church classes for adults, and Jimenez was an office assistant who handled several administrative tasks.
