Dino Cardelli, the founder and former pastor of Arcata’s Calvary Chapel, has struck a plea deal in which he admits to the continuous sexual abuse of a minor under the age of 14 who was living in his custody.
Cardelli was arrested last September and charged with one count of recurring sexual conduct, three counts of lewd and lascivious acts and five counts of oral copulation, all with a single victim — a child under the age of 14. Early this year, prosecutors added more charges, alleging that there was a second victim and that Cardelli violated a court order by repeatedly contacting the alleged victim(s).
In the deal, entered on Monday, Cardelli pleaded guilty to one count of continuous sexual abuse of a minor under age 14, one count of attempting to dissuade a witness, 25 misdemeanor counts of violating a court order by contacting a victim, and, regarding the second victim, a misdemeanor count of annoying or molesting a child, according to District Attorney’s Office Public Information Officer Lynette Mullen. He faces a maximum of 18 years in prison, Mullen said.
Cardelli is scheduled to appear before Humboldt County Superior Court Judge Bruce Watson in mid July to address the status of his sentencing.

He should get a shank of glass and die slowly and painfully – Death to pedophiles and other rapists!
Sick. Perhaps death by suffocation with a penis in his mouth…. would be appropriate.
18 years is not enough time to serve for the crimes this sexually immature predator has committed. There is something wrong with our justice system that needs to be fixed. Cardelli’s victims have had thei lives destroyed.
We hope that anyone who saw, suspected or suffered crimes by Pastor Dino Cardelli will contact police. Kids are safest when predators are jailed. Predators are jailed when victims and witnesses find the courage and strength to call law enforcement, as these brave victims have done. We hope their courage will inspire others to do the same.

Now that he’s been put away, we should probably keep an eye on those first two commenters.
Pastor Bob Grenier of Calvary Chapel Visalia also molested his son and abused the other 3. He is still walking the streets and pastoring. Help us fight this evil. See the story at Calvarychapelabuse.com Let’s get Bob Grenier a cell next to Cardelli’s. Thank God these girls spoke up before they were to old to be listened to.
This guy came to our church, tried to fit in, was making 145 grand and fooled a lot of folks. Do people know his wife comitted suicide after finding out the sexual abuse of their adopted child? Know this is old, woonder what his sentencing was. I hope it was a lot of time.
He got 18 years!!!!!
Now hopefully some nice large man in prison will show him the same kindness he showed those girls.
some of those were my children that lived with the cardellis and nancy cardelli was a wonderful honorable in fact she was the best woman ive ever known, and Dino Cardelli should be the life lost not her. this man was not of god, he ruined more than 1 childs, persons life in his disgusting evil actions. 18 years is not enuf time due to him.
