Husband of 'Porn Star Pastrix' Sentenced To 30 Years For Molesting His Own Sister

A pastor who made a name for himself by founding and co-pastoring a church with his active porn star wife has been sentenced to 30 years in prison after he plead guilty to raping his sister when she was just eight years old.

In 2020, ‘Pastors Stephen and Angela Dela Cruz, who met in bible college and married shortly after, founded Living Faith Church in San Diego. Their hook was that it was a “church for sinners, by sinners,” using the fact that Angela, who would be preaching and co-pastoring, was an active porn star who spent nearly a decade working as a cam-girl.

As one might imagine, both of these apostates were terrible preachers, unsurprising given their demonic activity and strange sermon names. Amid the sermon titles like “Hearing God through People,” “Prophetic Proclamation,” and “Mastering Money,” there were unconventional sermon titles like “Doggy Style,” God’s Big But!” and “Do you, Boo.”

That they managed to have a full band that sang regular praise and worship songs, have tithes and offerings, serve communion, have altar calls, and preach sermons each Sunday with bible verses sprinkled throughout, frequently urging their 40-50 congregants to go out into the world and preach the gospel of Jesus Christ, all the while being able to buy private cam shows and nudes from their ‘pastor’ is astonishing.

Given what a creeper Stephen Dela Cruz, what came next isn’t.

Stephen Dela Cruz pled guilty to eight felony crimes, including two counts of Sexual Penetration by Foreign Object, three counts of Forcible Rape, and three counts of Forcible Oral Copulation. He hoped to have his sentence minimized, but it was not to be. According to a Press release from the Ventura County District Attorney’s office:

The District Attorney’s Office initially filed charges in juvenile court alleging Delacruz was 14 and 15 years old when he committed the crimes back in 2001 and 2002. Then Senior Deputy District Attorney Erik Nasarenko sought to have the case transferred from juvenile court to adult court, arguing that the crimes involved significant sophistication and planning and were especially violent and severe. Delacruz isolated Samantha in their Oxnard house and threatened to kill her if she ever disclosed the crimes, often displaying a knife prior to the sexual assaults.
