A 39-year-old Bible study group leader has been accused of sexually assaulting a 12-year-old boy, Orange County sheriff\u2019s investigators said Thursday.<\/p>\n
Cameron Taylor Heath was booked on Dec. 4 on suspicion of lewd and lascivious acts with a minor younger than 14, according to sheriff\u2019s deputies. Heath bailed out on Dec. 7.<\/p>\n
Laguna Hills sheriff\u2019s investigators responded to a call for service in October that led them to later find evidence that several years earlier the accuser was sexually abused by Heath, who was the family\u2019s bible study group leader.<\/p>\n
Heath was also a member of Generations Church in Placentia and owned and operated from 2010-12 the \u201cAction Kids\u201d youth fitness center in Placentia, deputies said. He also led a bible study group known as \u201cThe Branch\u201d and was the founder and president of \u201cDeed and Truth Ministries,\u201d a nonprofit organization in San Diego, deputies said.<\/p>\n
Anyone who has relevant information for investigators was asked to call 714-647-7419 or 714-647-7000. Orange County Crime Stoppers will accept anonymous tips at 855-TIP-OCCS.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A 39-year-old Bible study group leader has been accused of sexually assaulting a 12-year-old boy, Orange County sheriff\u2019s…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":28494,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[23690,163,165,164,53316,166,7244,23151,15727,171,4743],"class_list":["post-97448","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-anaheim","tag-accused","tag-anaheim","tag-anaheim-headlines","tag-anaheim-news","tag-bible","tag-county","tag-group","tag-leader","tag-molesting","tag-orange","tag-study"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/97448","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=97448"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/97448\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/28494"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=97448"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=97448"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=97448"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
