A pastor pleaded guilty on Friday to sexual assault on a child by a person in a position of trust.
Prosecutors say Gerald Clark’s victims include three children and two women.
The offenses date back as far as 2005 and as recently as April 2012.
Clark originally faced 10 counts, but those were dropped in exchange for a guilty plea to one count that covers all three felony counts of victims under the age of 18.

The first young woman to come forward told police that Clark was a father figure and mentor to her. She said the sexual abuse occurred approximately 30 to 50 times between 2009 and 2012 when she was 13 to 16 years old.
Clark’s voice cracked and his wife sobbed quietly as he entered his guilty plea. Two of his victims were in court on Friday.
Clark met the alleged victim and her family at Victory Church. They then followed Clark to Jericho Ministries International that Clark ran out of his Westminster home.
She told police she came forward out of fear that there were other victims.
Clark is scheduled to be sentenced at 1 p.m. on Feb. 6.
