LAND O’ LAKES - A Hillsborough County minister surrendered at Land O’ Lakes Jail on Tuesday evening to face a charge of lewd or lascivious battery - eight months after facing similar charges in Tampa.
The Rev. Daniel A. Gomez, 38, is accused of molesting a 12-year-old girl at her Pasco County home in summer 2005, according to the Pasco County Sheriff’s Office.
Gomez went to the girl’s home when her parents were not there and forced himself on her, kissing her and touching her in a sexual manner, a sheriff’s office report states. Gomez reportedly took off his pants and removed the girl’s pants, too, and attempted to have sex with her.
