BIG BEAR--A pastor who preached at churches in Big Bear City and Glendora is behind bars on suspicion of felony child molestation.

Investigators disclosed Wednesday the arrest last weekend of Martin Richter, 48, at his home in Big Bear City.

Sheriff’s detectives say a 13-year-old girl was continually sexually abused and they are concerned there may be other victims.

Pastor Richter is being held at the West Valley Detention Center in lieu of $200,000 bail.

Richter pleaded not guilty at his arraignment Tuesday. His next court hearing is February 10th. (INT)
