Jose Fierro, a youth pastor at Revival Youth Tucson in Tucson, Arizona, stands accused of aggravated luring of a minor for sexual exploitation.

Channel 13 reports:

A youth pastor in the Tucson area has been accused of luring a minor.

The Oro Valley Police Department said 25-year-old Jose Fierro was arrested on Tuesday.

The OVPD said Fierro, a maintenance worker at The Golf Villas at Oro Valley and a youth pastor at Revival Youth Tucson, is facing a charge of luring a minor for sexual exploitation.

During his initial court appearance Tuesday night, a judge set his bond at $25,000. It appears he was able to post the bond as he was not in the Pima County Adult Detention Complex as of 5 p.m. Wednesday.

His next court appearance was set for 1:30 p.m. Aug. 15.

The OVPD said Fierro goes by “Bebecito Fierro” on social media.
