SANTA ANA, Ca. (March 9, 2022): On Wednesday, March 2, members of the Orange County Sheriff’s Department Special Victims Detail arrested Terry Lyn Myers, 65, of Garden Grove, for felony aggravated sexual assault.

He is currently in custody at the Orange County Jail. Myers is booked on charges related to a suspected sexual assault of a minor that occurred in the 1990s.

Myers has been a volunteer at multiple churches in Orange County. He was a volunteer at Grace Community Church, formerly known as Nutwood Church, in Garden Grove from 1995-2013. Since 2013, Myers has been volunteering at MidCities Baptist Church in Westminster.

Due to the suspect’s role at these churches and his access to children, investigators believe there may be additional victims.

Anyone with information regarding possible additional victims or with information they believe may assist in this investigation is asked to contact the Orange County Sheriff’s Department at (714) 647-7419, or submit an anonymous tip to OC Crime Stoppers at 855-TIP-OCCS (855-847-6227) or at occrimestoppers.org.

  1. Every day there are thousands of pedophiles and predators welcomed with open arms at churches, daycares, and schools. The majority’ of these so called houses of worship are unregulated, no background checks and pay no taxes. Be aware parents, listen and believe your kids if they say or show fear and refusal to go back. Listen to your family. Save our kids! Demand regulations!
