Accused pedophile pastor allegedly sexually assaulted 2 girls at Florida church, telling one, ‘We only live once’
Yersson David Solarte, 33, was busted Wednesday while vacationing with family in Virginia after the underage girls reported the disturbing abuse the depraved clergyman repeatedly inflicted inside IPUL Pentecostal Church in Sanford, Florida, according to the Sanford Police Department.
One girl told police that, on multiple occasions, Solarte forced her to sit on his lap and sexually assaulted her in both his office and the church’s multimedia room, according to an arrest affidavit obtained by the Miami Herald.
Investigators later identified a second victim, who said the accused predator repeatedly molested her in his office — telling the youngster during one sickening encounter that they were a “couple” after he forcefully kissed her and proceeded to unzip his pants, ignoring requests for him to call her mom.
In a separate incident, the alleged sexual deviant threw himself at the minor during a “juvenile meeting” and declared, “We only live once,” court documents showed.
The young girl also told police that the pastor expressed romantic feelings toward her, and when she rejected his advances, he tried to make her jealous by showing her sister affection.
Police said both girls, whose ages weren’t made public, were last abused on April 7.

‘A demonic monster’: The paedophile priest who fathered a secret child
A high-profile celebrity priest named as a child abuser in a recent report by the Jesuits also fathered a secret child, the Irish Examiner can now reveal.
Pedophile priest Fr Kevin Laheen was one of 15 deceased Jesuits named in the damning report on sexual predators within the order.
The baby boy, also named Kevin, was born in a private nursing home at 17 Earlsfort Terrace on July 3, 1966, and forcibly taken from Dolores Meagher by the nuns who ran the home. He died a number of days later.
Danielle told the Irish Examiner how Fr Laheen "infiltrated our family by manipulation and coercion".
Fr Laheen, who was a high-profile priest in Dublin in the 1960s and worked at a number of private second-level colleges including Belvedere and Gonzaga, was approaching his 50s at the time of the pregnancy. Dolores Meagher was in her 20s. She was married to John Meagher, with three children, when she became pregnant.
She said the despair suffered by her grandmother "was not just about the death of the child, but also the circumstances surrounding the child being taken away immediately by the nuns".
"She was screaming for them to give the baby back to her."
Dolores Meagher was married when she gave birth to Kevin, but Danielle says the baby was accepted by the family.
"My grandfather knew and the marriage carried on, everyone knew. It just seemed to be accepted that he was born and died," Danielle said.
“My grandfather was a devout Catholic. I actually think that Fr Laheen commandeered the family and said this is what is happening. It was an abuse of power.
“There has been 70 years of cover-ups within the order. I dread to think of the number of children that were in contact with Fr Laheen," Danielle said.
“What happened in consequence of the complaints? There is no record of any action being taken against Fr Laheen regarding the complaint raised in 1967. Following the complaint made to the gardaí in late 1999, the DPP decided not to prosecute”.
"The Jesuits were aware of his depravity and chose to move him around, elevating him to a form of clerical of celebrity. He was photographed with Terry Wogan at one point. A full independent investigation is needed into this case.”

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
