Anti-porn crusader faces new charges of having sex with minor
A man who claimed to be an anti-porn crusader is facing new charges related to having sex with a minor.
Donny Pauling Jr. faces nine new charges in relation to a second victim, according to Sutter County Deputy District Attorney Anu Chopra.
The new charges include: four counts of having sex with a minor; one count of having sex with a minor while employed as a public official; one count of oral copulation with a minor; one count of first-degree burglary; one count of meeting a minor with sexual intent; and one count of molesting a minor.
On Dec. 1, in connection to a different victim, Pauling was booked into custody on allegations of lewd acts with a child under 14, oral copulation with a child under 14 and unlawful intercourse, according to the Sutter County Sheriff's Department.
At that time, sheriff's Lt. James Casner said a woman and her 16-year-old daughter reported that Pauling had been having sex with the girl since she was 13 years old.
Pauling had his preliminary hearing in connection to the first victim Thursday, Jan. 30.
Chopra said Pauling's arraignment on charges in relation to the alleged second victim is scheduled for Feb. 13; he was booked for the new charges with no bail.
According to Pauling's website, he was a producer of pornographic films for nine years beginning in 1997 before becoming a Christian and speaking out against the porn industry and its effects on society and individuals.
In September 2014, Pauling spoke at the St. Isadore Catholic Church in Yuba City, just a few months before his arrest.
