EL PASO COUNTY, Colo. – A licensed minister associated with several churches that meet in Colorado Springs has been accused of sex assault on a child, and deputies with the El Paso County Sheriff’s Office are looking for more possible victims who could help in the investigation.

Romello Leach, 22, was arrested and booked on Wednesday into the Criminal Justice Center Jail on multiple felony counts for sexual assault ona child, pattern of abuse.

Deputies say he’s associated with several churches that regularly meet at the Satellite Hotel in Colorado Springs and are now seeking information on anyone who may have been victimized by Beach in the past and not reported it, as he “has had access to an unknown number of children/teens,” according to officials.
