Your warning came too late for Pastor Yohandry Bravo. Fortunately, the police found him 5 days ago:
Macon pastor arrested on rape, child molestation charges
An Atlanta police traffic stop caught a Macon pastor wanted for more than two years on charges of rape and aggravated child molestation.
Yohandry Bravo, 39, was booked into the Bibb County Law Enforcement Center shortly after 12:30 p.m. Tuesday, according to jail records.
The Atlanta officer quickly learned of the warrants during the traffic stop and took Bravo to jail in Clayton County, according to the public affairs officers with the Bibb County Sheriffs Office. Bibb deputies drove to Clayton County to pick up Bravo, who did not face any charges in Atlanta, the officers said.
Arrest warrants were signed more than two years ago for Bravo, who is charged with raping a 16-year-old girl at his house across from Smileys Flea Market in January 2013.
At the time, Bravo had been a pastor for 17 years, according to his Facebook page, and was leading a congregation of between 200 and 250 people at Ministerio Internacional Jesús es el Señor on Hawkinsville Road.
Bravos 15-year-old son, Jose, was killed Nov. 23, 2012, after he stepped onto Hawkinsville Road to retrieve a hat that had blown out of the car he was riding in. After Jose died, a couple of families moved in with Bravo and his family.
Allegations of rape followed shortly afterward. Bravo was regularly featured in Macon Regional Crimestoppers, but he had eluded capture.

PERRIS PASTOR ARRESTED FOR RAPE OF MINOR
PERRIS, Calif. -- A pastor in Riverside County has been arrested for rape and other sex crimes, and investigators say there may be more victims. Jerome Anthony Clay Sr., a pastor at Compassion Church in Perris, is charged with raping a person under the age of 16. Authorities did not say whether the victim was a church member.
Clay, 41, was taken into custody Thursday after search warrants were served at his church and his home in the 400 block of Perris Boulevard. He is being held on $110,000 bail and is expected in court on March 17.
Perris residents had mixed reactions to the news.
"There was a lot of bad stuff that goes on at this church, they say it doesn't, but it does," Jordan Egbert said.
Robert Arnold, who used to attend Compassion Church, said Clay was a popular figure.
"He was involved with the community, the people, but what happened, I don't know," Arnold said.
Authorities believe there may be other victims. Anyone with information is urged to call the Perris Police Department at (951) 210-1044.

Westlake pastor accused of sexual battery, gross sexual imposition
WESTLAKE, Ohio A pastor at a popular Westlake church is facing sex-related charges in Lorain County Common Pleas Court, according court records.
Paul Endrei, 53, of Avon is charged with two counts of sexual battery and one count of gross sexual imposition. Endrei is the founding and senior pastor atChurch on the Rise on Crocker Road, according to the church's website.
A grand jury indicted Endrei on Wednesday and Lorain County Sheriff's Office deputies arrested him Thursday, according to court records.
He was released from Lorain County Jail Thursday after posting $50,000 bond.
Details about the case have not been released. The Church on the Rise issued the following statement about the matter, and Endrei said in an email that he did not have any additional comment:
"The Church on the Rise of Westlake is aware of the recent indictment by Lorain County of Pastor Paul Endrei. We pray for Pastor Paul, his wife and 5 children. We are aware that the allegations are coming from one of the children adopted by the Endrei's. We pray that this troubled adolescent receive the help and counseling she needs.
"The Church believes in our legal system and that the truth will come out. To assist in that end, we are requesting that the media and press respect the privacy of Pastor Paul and his family. Church grounds are for spiritual growth and not for media or press interviews. We hope this request for privacy is respected and the press and media refrain from entering Church property.
"Pastor Paul maintains his presumption of innocence and hope that all reserve judgment until all facts are properly aired in a court of law. We not only have faith in our lord but also in our system of justice. Only after both sides present their case can a judgment be made in this very serious matter. We thank all members of the church and community for their prayers and continued support."

Westlake church pastor pleads; second pastor charged
LORAIN COUNTY, Ohio A well-known pastor, Paul Endrei, entered a not guilty plea before a judge on Thursday morning on sexual assault related charges, and his son will likely appear soon after being charged with a single count earlier this week.
Jordan Endrei, 26, now faces one count of unlawful sexual conduct with a minor.
All of the charges relate to a single teenage girl who was under 18 at the time of the alleged crimes.
Paul Endrei is the founding pastor of the prominent Church on the Rise in Westlake, and his son is an assistant pastor.
Paul Endrei faces two counts of sexual battery and has also been charged with four counts of sexual imposition regarding a juvenile.
At a short arraignment in Lorain Common Pleas Court Thursday morning, Paul Endrei did not speak as his lawyer, Jack Bradley, told the judge that his client would plead not guilty.
Jordan Endrei was not arraigned, but did walk out of the courthouse with his father.
Bradley said at the courthouse that Paul Endrei would be speaking through him about the case, and added that the Endreis welcome your prayers.
Later, Bradley said that the Endreis had cooperated with the Lorain County Childrens Services investigation, and that the family was disappointed in its results.
Bradley said the charges that Paul Endrei engaged in the unlawful acts have unusual gaps for these types of alleged crimes with some of the allegations stemming from around 2005, others around 2009, and still others in 2013.
Bradley said he is waiting to see the evidence himself, and learn if prosecutors have any DNA evidence, or witnesses who corroborate the allegations.
Last week, Jane Robertson, the interim director of Lorain County Children Services, said they were limited in what they could say, but that they were cooperating with the police in the investigation of Paul Endrei.
Thursday, regarding Jordan Endrei, Robertson said they were aware of the investigation, have cooperated with Avon police, and will continue to do so.
An email sent to church members said:
Pastor Paul and Jordan adamantly deny these troubling charges coming from one person and are cooperating fully with investigators. We want to keep you up to date on the case and are writing to let you know that they will enter not guilty pleas at their arraignments.
We anticipate that the news media will cover the arraignment and you can expect to see news stories in print, on television and online. We will continue to be open and transparent with media covering the case going forward. However, because this is a criminal case, we have to be very careful not to say anything that could jeopardize the investigation.
These are serious charges and, as you can imagine, this is a very distressing time for all of us at the Church on the Rise. We are grateful that so many of you expressed such strong support at last Sundays services. We will continue to do everything we can to support Pastor Paul and his family and we ask you to join us in prayer for a just outcome in court.
Last week, the church issued a statement on Paul Endreis behalf, denying the allegations, and hoping that the teenager involved receives counseling.
Paul Endrei is next due in court a week from Friday.
