Former Lansing youth pastor convicted of sexual assault

• Victor Trevino Jr., a former youth pastor at Bread House South Church, was sentenced to a minimum of 2 years and a maximum of 7 years for fourth-degree criminal sexual conduct and using a computer to molest a child.
• On Tuesday, relatives and members of Bikers Against Child Abuse were there to support Isabella Frarey, 20.
• In the attached story, I spoke with Isabella and her family as they closed the door on this matter.

(The following is a transcript of the entire broadcast report)

Tuesday was a day that some in our neighborhoods had been waiting for years.

I'm your local reporter, Asya Lawrence… With a look inside the courtroom as a youth pastor was sentenced to prison for sexual assault…

“1949, D-Day… 5 years and 4 months… that's the day my life changed for the worse… today is the first day my life will change for the better,” said Isabella Frarey.

This emotional moment had been long awaited by Isabella Frarey, a survivor of sexual assault…

“I know I didn't get much sleep last night,” she said.

On Tuesday morning in Ingham County Court, Frarey watched as his attacker, 27-year-old former youth pastor Victor Trevino Jr., was sentenced to a maximum of seven years in prison.

He will also have to register as a Level 2 sex offender.

Inside the courtroom was Bikers Against Child Abuse… a group that supported Isabella and her loved ones.

“I am incredibly grateful that the family has finally gotten justice, and I also hope that as word spreads about what happened today, any other children who may have been victimized by this person or anyone else will see it and know that they don’t have to go through this alone,” said BACA’s Barkley.

This is the thought that was shared by Isabella's family on this emotional day.

“As a parent, listen to your child… support them… be there for them… This is going to be hard. I’m not going to lie, it’s going to be really hard, but you can do it. You can win. You can overcome. Use your little voice and make it heard,” said Monica Almaguer-Rodriguez

A voice of love…the first day of the rest of Isabella's life.

“They've always been there, so I have a great support system…,” Isabella said.

Isabella tells me that in this new chapter of her life, she wants to become a sexual assault nurse…we reached out to Breadhouse South Church, and they were unavailable for comment, but speaking with Victor Trevino Sr. before the sentencing, he says he and the church are praying for both parties.
