- A Gainesville man accused of having sex with a minor was arrested on Monday in what is now the third separate case involving an alleged child sex crime that took place at Ignite Life Center, 404 NW 14th Ave. in Gainesville.

- In the most recent case, Noel Cruz, 22, has been charged with one count of lewd or lascivious battery on a person younger than 16, Alachua County court records show.

- In another case, Christian David Vargas was charged on July 18, 2023, with lewd or lascivious battery, encourages/forces person under 16 and lewd or lascivious conduct by person 18 years old or older.

- According to a GPD report, Vargas, now 19, is accused of engaging in a sexual relationship with the victim when they were 12 years old and he was 16.

- A third person charged with sexual abuse at the church stems from a GPD Special Victims Unit investigation that began on Feb. 7, 2023.

- A victim reported that they were abused by Gabriel Giovani Hemenez, now 29, in July 2021 during a monthlong overnight camp called the Ignite Youth Internship.

- Hemenez was a volunteer and Ignite church member from 2018-2023, and "interacted with minors on a regular basis," according to a July 2023 GPD news release announcing his arrest.

- GPD reported that its investigation into Hemenez revealed that he abused several minors during the internship. Detectives traveled to Lakeland to interview Hemenez, who "confessed to inappropriately touching three minors and one adult" during his time at Ignite, the release said.

- He was charged with two counts of lewd or lascivious molestation and one count of attempted sexual battery of a minor.
