A Pensacola man was arrested on suspicion of sexually abusing a young girl hundreds of times over three years after he reportedly told a local pastor about his actions and the pastor alerted authorities.

Robert Joel Cota, 31, was arrested Sunday and charged with sexual battery on a victim 12 or younger, child abuse, aggravated assault, possession of a controlled substance without a prescription and at least one other sex-related offenses.

He was booked into the Escambia County Jail without bond and remained in custody Monday

A pastor contacted authorities Sunday after Cota approached him at a new members' day event at the church and asked questions "pertaining to the church's beliefs about marriage, gender and sexual conduct" that concerned the pastor, according to Cota's arrest report.

During the conversation, Cota allegedly referenced a sexual relationship with an underage girl, the pastor later told Escambia County Sheriff's Office deputies.The pastor said he told Cota that "what he was doing is not right and that he needs to report himself to the authorities."The pastor provided ECSO investigators with a piece of paper on which Cota had written his address and phone number and a photo of Cota taken in line with the church's protocol of photographing all potential new members.

After ECSO investigators spoke to the pastor, they contacted the girl who Cota is accused of assaulting. The girl's age is redacted from the arrest report.

The girl told deputies that Cota had been sexually assaulting her for the past three years. She said the abuse started when she was about 7 years old and estimated that it had happened more than 600 times, according to the arrest report.
A warrant was subsequently written for Cota's arrest.

Although he did a monstrous thing, it's good he sought out some help. Maybe he can repent and find absolution from the safety of his prison cell.

Yeah but she could be 9, or she could be 11, or there might be a delay in the report and she could even be a little older than that.

Pastor did the right thing and maybe TC has a point. If this dude was feeling guilty enough to seek religious counsel, perhaps he'll spend his time in prison trying to repent

Pedophiles can't be rehabilitated, he should get life in prison.

You say that as a joke, but I remember there was one dude who got caught that way. He was abusing his daughter and went over to his neighbors house with pictures and asked if he wanted in.

Had the girl been 16 or 17, and he feels really bad about it and would change his ways I would give him a second chance. He might still get some jail time and/or other heavy punishment, but it shouldn't ruin his life. Why? Because 16-17 is fully developed (sexually) and it's even legal in some states. As a male, you'd be lying if you said you wouldn't enjoy wild sex with a prime ready beautiful girl. You just instead use your better judgement and not be a creepy predator and find someone your age.

Girls younger than that though, especially in the 9-12 range is beyond sick. I'm not even sure that it's possible to correct such a severe mental disorder. Lock em up, good on the pastor.

While this is true, that seal specifically focuses on the Catholic Church when confessing to a priest.

The fact that they call the man a pastor and not a priest suggests this was not a Catholic church, and most other religions don't follow the confessional format.

So really, the pastor had no reason to keep something like that unreported.

Nothing in the article suggests that this was a Catholic church, which is where the issue you are both referencing mainly resides.
