The founder of “The Way” christian clothing brand, Jesse Joshua Aceves, has been convicted of child molestation.
A man who was arrested by the Fontana Police Department nearly three years ago has been convicted and sentenced to 35 years in state prison.
On June 17, 2020, the Fontana P.D.’s Investigations Unit and Fugitive Apprehension Team located and arrested Jesse Joshua Aceves leaving his Beaumont residence.
Aceves was charged with numerous counts of child molestation, which had been occurring for the previous 17 years. Three victims were identified in the case, the P.D. said in a Facebook post.
According to an article at Rapzilla.com, clothing from The Way brand had been in vogue with Christian hip-hop artists. In that music community, Aceves helped book musicians for concerts and other events. In return, they often wore and displayed The Way merchandise to sell. Rapzilla noted: “This is a very sad situation and hate to even report on it. Keep the victims of this terrible situation in your prayers.”
According to reports:
Fontana Police Department spokesman Richard Guerrero said one of the victims was a girl who alleged she had been molested by Aceves between 4- and 17-years-old.
“When she learned of another victim being abused by the same suspect the two victims reported it to patrol officers and detectives became involved, at which time detectives learned about the third victim,” Guerrero said.
Earlier this week, Aceves, 33, was convicted of his crimes and has been sentenced 35 years in a state prison.
