Jose Mora, a member of Golden Dawn Tabernacle, was sentenced on October 27, 2026, to 10 years in the Arizona Department of Corrections. The sentence follows his guilty plea on September 28 to attempted sexual conduct with a minor under 15. At the hearing, his own lawyer told the judge that the church’s structure “protected Mr. Mora from accountability,” and a sentencing filing says the crimes were confessed within the church years ago but never reported to police. We also cover the latest hearing in Pastor Isaac Noriega’s case. We relied on court records, including the clerk’s minute entries (the written record of each hearing), and on the KVOA pool recording of the hearing and news coverage. Noriega has pleaded not guilty and is presumed innocent.
Where the Two Cases Stand
- Jose Mora is a member of Golden Dawn Tabernacle, also known as Tabernáculo Emanuel, a Message church in Tucson. Isaac Noriega is the church’s pastor and is charged separately with failing to report neglect of a minor.
- On October 27, Judge Kellie Johnson sentenced Mora to 10 years in prison, the presumptive term (the standard sentence a judge starts from). The prosecutor asked for the 15-year maximum. The defense asked for the 8-year minimum.
- Mora, 59, received credit for 558 days already spent in jail, which leaves about eight and a half years if the sentence is served in full. That would put his release around April 2035, when he would be about 67. After prison he will serve a period of community supervision (monitoring by the Department of Corrections after release) and must register as a sex offender.
- His second case, CR20260731, was dismissed with prejudice, which generally means it cannot be filed again. The dismissal was part of his plea agreement, which also says the charges could be refiled if the plea itself were ever thrown out.
- In a sentencing filing, Mora’s lawyer wrote that the crimes “were initially confessed to many years ago within his church, although they went unreported to the police.”
- Fourteen people wrote to the judge asking for leniency. All but two are members of the church, including a sitting trustee, a former trustee and two deacons: Reymundo Aguirre, who called Mora “a stellar individual,” and Joseph Israel Torres, Pastor Noriega’s son-in-law. Noriega did not write a letter. We have transcribed every letter below.
- According to the October 19 minute entry, Isaac Noriega remains on a waiting list for court-ordered treatment, almost six months after a judge ordered it. His next hearing is January 11, 2027.
October 27: A 10-Year Sentence
Mora appeared in custody in Judge Johnson’s courtroom, with a Spanish interpreter. The judge first entered judgment, the court’s formal finding of guilt, on Amended Count One: attempted sexual conduct with a minor, a preparatory dangerous crime against children (an attempt to commit a serious crime against a child, which carries harsher sentencing rules), committed between May 1 and August 31, 2012. She said she had read the presentence report (a written summary of his background and the case prepared by the Adult Probation Department) and the defense memo, “including numerous letters of support.”
Under the plea agreement, probation was not an option. In explaining the sentence, Judge Johnson said she weighed two factors against Mora: “the emotional impact that your crimes had on the victims,” and the fact that “even though you pled to one count, there were multiple incidents.” In his favor, she weighed his lack of any criminal history, his remorse and his acceptance of responsibility. She then imposed the presumptive term of 10 years, running from the day of sentencing, with 558 days of credit for time already served. Court records list Mora’s date of birth as August 18, 1967, which makes him 59. If he serves the full sentence, he would be released around April 2035, at age 67.
She also ordered a term of community supervision after his release, sex offender registration under Arizona law, A.R.S. § 13-3821, and a set of fees and assessments, including a $500 forensic assessment and a $250 sex offender registration fee. At the end of the hearing, as the plea agreement required, she dismissed the second case, CR20260731, “with prejudice.” That generally means those two charges cannot be brought again, although the plea agreement allows them to be refiled if the plea is ever thrown out.
What the Prosecutor Asked For
Neither victim addressed the court. Prosecutor Bradley K. Roach said one had told victim services he might attend, but he did not appear on the video link, and Roach spoke for both. He said one victim had told him “this whole thing had messed up his life” and that he wanted Mora “to face consequences.” The other, Roach said, felt that once he became an adult “it was his obligation to come forward,” not only for himself but “in case there was any danger to anyone else.” Roach asked for the maximum of 15 years, citing the two victims, the length of the abuse, and what he called Mora’s “position of power with the church that he was in over these two people.”
What the Defense Asked For
Defense attorney Carter J. Santini of the Pima County Public Defender’s Office asked for the minimum of 8 years. He told the court that Mora was himself sexually abused as a child (the written memo says by his father, in Mexico) and never received help for it, that he cooperated with police and confessed when confronted, and that he is remorseful. He argued that because of Mora’s age and health, “anything over the eight years” would “functionally be a life sentence.” Asked whether he wanted to say anything, Mora said, “No.” He did submit a handwritten letter to the judge, filed with the defense memo, in which he wrote that he recognizes “the pain and difficulties my actions have caused” and asked “for mercy.” We have transcribed it in full under The Letters of Support below.
The Defense: “The Church Structure … Protected Mr. Mora”
Arguing for a lighter sentence, Mora’s own lawyer, Santini, told the judge:
“I think, Judge, that this is a unique case because there’s another side of culpability with the church structure that protected Mr. Mora from accountability when these happened so many years ago. He did a lot of work when the church confronted him, but the nature of this church, Judge, in many ways has been described as cult-like, where they would not go to the police, they would not cooperate with law enforcement, and they were very, very insular.”
He added that if the church had not been “so secretive and so clandestine” over a decade ago, “the victims may have had the opportunity for more resources when they were in their youth.”
The written sentencing memorandum, filed October 23, goes further. On page 3 it states: “Indeed, these crimes were initially confessed to many years ago within his church, although they went unreported to the police. Mr. Mora engaged in church programming that surrounded treatment and reconciliation.” The memo calls that church process “clearly insufficient in these circumstances,” and offers it as evidence that Mora is willing to seek treatment.
These are statements by Mora’s defense, made to argue for a shorter sentence. They do not say who in the church heard the confession, when, or what was said, and no court has made findings about them. To our knowledge, this is the first time a court filing in either case has said outright that the abuse was confessed inside the church and kept from police.
The Letters of Support
The defense memo attached 14 letters of support, plus a handwritten letter from Mora himself. They are public court records, and we have transcribed every one below exactly as written, including the writers’ spelling. We removed phone numbers and street addresses. Each letter is summarized first; open the drop-down to read the full text. The complete filing, with those details blacked out, is available here as a PDF.
Most of the letters describe Mora as a hard worker, a devoted father and a generous volunteer. Based on our knowledge of the congregation, all but two of the 14 writers are members of Golden Dawn Tabernacle; the exceptions are his neighbor, Gustavo G. Diaz, and his jail cellmate, Samuel Talavera. That includes writers whose letters read as coming from an employer or a family friend. Six of the letters mention the church directly. Four writers hold or have held leadership roles: deacon Reymundo Aguirre; deacon Joseph Israel Torres, who is Pastor Noriega’s son-in-law; trustee Robert Gutierrez Jr.; and former trustee Alberto A. Medina. Only Mora’s own letter mentions the victims. Two family letters, written weeks after Mora pleaded guilty, dispute what he admitted in court.
One name does not appear. Isaac Noriega, Mora’s pastor, did not write a letter. The filing does not say why, and we do not know. Noriega is charged separately with failing to report Mora’s abuse, and that case is still pending.
The support also stayed on paper. When Mora was sentenced on October 27, no one from the church came to the courtroom to stand with him, according to former members who attended the hearing. That included his own family. Twelve church members wrote the judge that Mora was a devoted husband and father, a faithful friend and a brother in Christ. None of them was in the room when the judge sentenced him.
One more fact stands out. One of the letter writers is related to one of the victims. We are not saying which writer, or how they are related, because doing so could identify the victim.
In our view, that is the sharpest contrast in this filing. Every one of these letters was written after Mora stood in open court and admitted there was a factual basis for a sex crime against a child. The abuse was no longer an allegation. Even so, a relative of one of the boys he abused chose to write the judge on Mora’s behalf, alongside the church’s deacons and trustees, describing him as honorable, trustworthy and a faithful brother in Christ.
Former members have long described a culture at Golden Dawn Tabernacle in which loyalty to the church, its ministry and its leadership comes before everything else, including a member’s own family. This letter is a stark example of that culture at work: a family member, knowing a child in the family had been abused, standing with the abuser and the church rather than with the child.
What the Church Punishes, and What It Did Not
To understand why these letters matter, it helps to know what Golden Dawn Tabernacle does punish. We have documented the church’s rules for years. The internet is “strictly forbidden,” and members who use it must publicly confess before they can take communion. Smartphones are banned in favor of flip phones, and “a simple rumor about someone owning a smartphone” can “instantly lead to ostracization.” The church counts sporting events among forbidden “worldly” activities, and its youth “are punished if they are caught participating.” Former members have told us of young people disciplined for being seen at a sports bar or a football game. Wearing jeans to a service can bring an angry rebuke from the pulpit. Breaking the rules can cost a young person a place in the choir or band and a seat at communion. The final step is excommunication, after which the congregation, and even the person’s own family, are expected to shun them.
Many of the rules fall on girls and women, and most of them are about appearance. Following the teachings of William Branham, the church forbids open-toed shoes, so a girl can be questioned for wearing flip-flops. A skirt that rises too far above the ankle, or even the suspicion of polish on her fingernails or toenails, is enough, former members say, for a deacon to call a girl into the office during school hours and question her. Our reporting on deacon counseling has described deacons checking schoolgirls’ shoes for nail polish. Former members say Reymundo Aguirre, one of the deacons who wrote the judge on Mora’s behalf and the principal of the church school, was among the deacons who did this.
Against that, consider how the church handled Jose Mora. By his own lawyer’s account in a court filing, his crimes against children were “confessed to many years ago within his church” and “went unreported to the police.” What followed, according to the same filing, was “church programming that surrounded treatment and reconciliation.” Pastor Noriega has acknowledged that the church disciplined Mora: he told the Arizona Daily Star in 2024 that he “disciplined Mora but would not say how,” the paper reported. Former members told the Star that Mora wrote a vague letter of repentance that Noriega read from the pulpit, after which Mora was brought back “into the fold.” One father told the paper that the same kind of letter is read whenever someone is caught in a sin, “even one as simple as watching TV.” As he put it: “We’re going to compare television to a predator who is active in the congregation and not a word is said to the congregation as a warning.” Mora was never excommunicated, and he was never removed from a role. The church did not go to the police. The letters describe what came after: a man who kept attending services, kept volunteering on church grounds and construction projects, and kept his standing in the congregation.
At Golden Dawn Tabernacle, a girl in open-toed sandals could be pulled aside by a deacon and questioned. A teenager with a smartphone could be shamed in front of the whole church. A man whose abuse of children was confessed inside that same church kept his place in the pews and, after admitting his crime in open court, received letters of support from its deacons and trustees.
The church responds with open outrage to a skirt length or a cell phone, offenses that harm no one, and makes the offender pay a heavy price for them. The abuse of a child, which harms a person for life, stayed inside the church. We see no balance in that. In our view, this is what religious extremism looks like: outward appearance policed in public, while the abuse of children is swept out of sight.
Jose Mora, the defendant
Mora’s own handwritten letter is short. It is the only letter in the filing that mentions the victims: he writes that he recognizes “the pain and difficulties my actions have caused both the victim[s] and their families.” He does not describe the offense. He asks the judge “for mercy” and for “the chance to return” to his family.
Read the letter
Honorable Judge,
Thank you for your consideration in reading this letter. I recognize the pain and difficulties my actions have caused both the victim[s?] and their families as well my own. I only ask for the chance to return to them and to society as a productive member, to provide for my wife and sons and witness them start families of their own. My actions are not a reflection of the person I want to be or of the role model I wish to set for my sons. I will endeavor each and every day to better my charactar and life and the lives of those around me. I respectfully ask for mercy and thank you greatly for your time and consideration in reading this letter
God bless you ma’am.
Respectfully, Jose Mora
Reymundo Aguirre, deacon
Aguirre signed as “Friend/Deacon” and is a long-serving leader at the church. He wrote that he has known Mora for more than 30 years and called him “a stellar individual” who did odd jobs at Aguirre’s home “around my family and home.” The letter is dated October 12, two weeks after Mora pleaded guilty, and does not mention the victims or the offense.

Joseph Israel Torres, deacon and Pastor Noriega’s son-in-law
Torres is married to Staceey Noriega Torres, Pastor Isaac Noriega’s daughter. A recorded Pima County warranty deed identifies him as “Joseph Israel Torres, husband of Staceey Tiffany Torres,” and, as we reported in 2023, Noriega’s sons-in-law serve on the church’s deacon board. His letter, the longest in the filing, says he met Mora “through our church community” around 2000, supervised him on construction crews from 2000 to 2004, was best man at Mora’s wedding around 2006, and hired him as a subcontractor from 2020 to 2023. Torres writes that he “cannot speak about the circumstances of this case from firsthand knowledge” and that he believes in “accountability” and “protecting others.” He also writes that “when I confronted him with mistakes, I knew him to acknowledge them.” The letter does not say what Torres knew about the abuse or when.

Re: Character Letter for Jose Mora Case No.: [Case Number]
Your Honor,
My name is Joseph Israel Torres. I am a father, a mason by trade, a business owner, a musician, and above all, a man whose life is grounded in my faith in our Lord Jesus Christ. I consider myself a son of Almighty God, and my faith has shaped the principles by which I strive to live, raise my family, conduct my business, and treat my fellow man.
I am writing on behalf of Jose Mora, whom I have known for more than twenty-five years. Our friendship began when we were young men and has continued through different seasons of our lives. During those years, I have known him as a coworker, a tradesman under my supervision, an independent subcontractor, and a close friend.
I first met Jose around the year 2000 through our church community. That same year, we began working together for a construction company pouring concrete foundations. Approximately six months after I started, I was promoted into a supervisory position over Jose and other personnel.
From 2000 through the end of 2004, we worked long hours in Tucson’s relentless summer heat, handling burning-hot rebar and pouring concrete under physically demanding conditions. Jose was a skilled and dependable tradesman who took pride in his work. When I was promoted, he supported me and respected my new responsibilities. I learned much about the construction trade from working alongside him.
In 2005, I established my own masonry business, and our professional paths separated, but our friendship continued. For the next fifteen years, we remained close friends, volunteering on church construction projects and helping friends and family build new homes and complete home improvements.
During those years, I personally witnessed Jose giving his time and skills without expecting compensation. He helped families experiencing sickness, prepared meals for those in need, and extended hospitality to individuals needing food, clothing, or shelter. These were experiences I witnessed firsthand and have not forgotten.
One personal experience that remains meaningful to me involves our weddings.
Around 2006, Jose married, and I had the privilege of standing beside him as his best man. When my wife and I were preparing for our wedding in 2008, Jose wanted to return that gesture by serving as the main chef for our wedding banquet.
However, during the wedding planning, a decision was made to have someone else oversee the menu and meal preparation. Jose expressed his disappointment directly to me, and I knew he was hurt.
[page 25]
Nevertheless, he accepted the decision and found another way to contribute. He prepared a wonderful Mexican salsa that our guests thoroughly enjoyed. More importantly, he shared in the joy of our wedding celebration without allowing his disappointment to affect our friendship.
What has stayed with me is his response. Although he did not receive the responsibility he had hoped for, he chose to participate and celebrate with us. I appreciated that gesture then, and I appreciate it today.
By 2020, Jose was operating his own remodeling business, performing masonry, pavers, stone veneer, tile, drywall, and other construction work. Between 2020 and 2023, I contracted him as an independent subcontractor on several projects.
Toward the end of 2023, our company faced a serious challenge on a stone veneer project at Mount Lemmon Lodge, high in the Santa Catalina Mountains outside Tucson. It was the middle of winter, our crews were committed elsewhere, and we had received a 72-hour notice from the general contractor. If we failed to begin work, another contractor would be brought in, and the additional costs charged back to our company.
The first person who came to mind was Jose because I trusted his workmanship, reliability, and integrity. I called and explained our situation. Although he was busy operating his own business, he rearranged his commitments and agreed to help us on a piecework basis.
Jose traveled up Mount Lemmon and began installing stone veneer himself, working twelve-hour days whenever possible. He was an exceptionally fast and skilled installer. His presence and productivity allowed us to demonstrate meaningful progress until I could mobilize our regular crew.
His willingness to step in helped prevent the threatened replacement and back-charges while maintaining our good standing with the general contractor.
I have never forgotten that winter. Jose had his own business to operate and his own responsibilities to fulfill, yet he chose to help when my company faced a difficult situation. His actions made a meaningful difference.
Over the years, Jose and I have had many conversations about life, faith, and personal responsibility. He has always been a man of strong convictions, sometimes bold and outspoken. He was not afraid to tell me when he believed I was wrong. Likewise, when I confronted him with mistakes, I knew him to acknowledge them. That openness was something I valued in our relationship.
Your Honor, as a father and a Christian, I believe deeply in truth, personal responsibility, accountability, and the importance of protecting others. My faith also teaches me the value of humility, repentance, mercy, and redemption.
I recognize and respect the responsibility entrusted to this Court. I cannot speak about the circumstances of this case from firsthand knowledge, nor would I presume to do so.
Over the past twenty years, I have had the opportunity to hire and mentor men rebuilding their lives after incarceration. Through those experiences, I have witnessed the importance of personal accountability, meaningful guidance, and the opportunity for individuals to grow and change.
[page 26]
Whatever sentence the Court determines to be appropriate under the law, I remain willing to offer Jose friendship, encouragement, and support within my ability and consistent with any restrictions imposed by the Court. My faith teaches me that accountability and redemption are not opposing principles, and that even in the most difficult circumstances, a person can continue striving to live this life to live again.
Your Honor, when I reflect upon the more than twenty-five years I have known Jose, I remember the tradesman who worked beside me through difficult days, the friend who shared in the joy of my wedding despite his personal disappointment, and the man who answered my call when my business needed help.
I share these experiences not to offer an opinion on the circumstances before this Court, but to provide an honest account of the character I have personally witnessed.
I respectfully ask the Court to consider these experiences as part of its assessment of Jose. My words are based on years of firsthand observations, and I trust the Court will give them the weight it considers appropriate in reaching a fair and just decision.
Thank you, Your Honor, for considering my personal testimony.
With sincere respect,

Your Honor,
I, Rosa A. Mora, have been married to Jose Mora for twenty-one years. He has always been a loving, friendly, respectful, and very responsible man. Since our marriage, I have never had to work. He provided me and our three sons with a beautiful home that he never stopped working on, cars to drive and all our food and provisions. Although we have had minor disputes as all married couples do, none have been serious; he never as much as raised his voice. He never failed to provide me and our children with lots of time and affection; even after his long days working doing construction, he loved to take us on evening or weekend fishing trips and vacations all over the state to beautiful places like the White Mountains, Mt. Lemmon, Grand Canyon, and Roosevelt Lake. We were always a very close family doing everything together. Our separation from my husband has been very difficult; the days have become long and sad. Our hearts hurt without him around. I feel pained to see my young sons have to carry the financial burden of having to fill in for their dad. I miss my husband greatly along with my boys. We pray he can be back with us soon. I have heard you are an honorable and just judge. That is why I ask you to see through the lies and help us. May God bless you and guide you with your decision.

Your Honor,
I am Joseph Mora, oldest son of Jose Mora. It has greatly pained me and my family to not have our father around anymore. We truly loved and appreciated him as he gave us every reason to. He worked hard to raise his family from being very poor to having a beautiful home we all shared, good cars and food on the table.
My father spent all his time and money with and for his family and to help any friends that needed it. He is a very kind, very loving father; he became the best friend I have. He helped me build my credit, get a car, he taught me to run a honest contracting business I have now taken over, he always made time to take us on small family trips we enjoyed very much, and many countless other things. But most importantly, he ingrained in me to respect the law, work hard, pay my taxes and grow to be a Christian. I now ask that you will consider this and help us have our wonderful dad back soon with us. I understand your number one objective is justice and I greatly respect and appreciate that; but we, his family and friends, know he isn’t the awful criminal they are making him out to be and are pleading that you will hear our voices as you make your decision. Thank you for your time and attention; if you would like to call me, I am always here. [phone redacted]

I, Miguel Mora, am Jose Mora’s son. As long as I can remember, my father has been an amazing dad and friend. He has always been caring, loving, and respectful toward me. He never once abused me in any way and only punished me when I deserved it, as any good father would. My dad always has been very respectful toward my mom. They have a wonderful relationship and I rarely have ever seen them fight. My dad never once, with God’s help, failed to provide for our family with clothes and good food. Whatever he earned in money, went to his family for all our needs and for our family vacations. He took us all over Arizona on camping and fishing trips. My dad is an extremely hard worker, a important trait he taught to all of us boys. He always taught us to be hard-working, to be honest, and to respect all the laws of our country. Because of my dad, we became heavily involved in volunteer work at our church. My father has always been an out-going man who makes friends everywhere he would be, whether at work, at the store, or in our assembly at church. To me as his son, my dad has not only been my father but my friend, and it has been very hard losing him. Me and my brothers now have the burden of paying all the bills and providing financial support for our mom.

Your Honor,
I, Isaac Mora, am writing this in regard to my father, Jose Mora. I first want to express how much my family and I miss him every day and how things have been much more difficult for us ever since he has been separated from us. We all miss him dearly and ask that you please do everything in your power to bring him back to us as soon as possible.Throughout my years growing up, I could never ask for a better dad. Even though we never had much money, he always provided just enough to support us and to give us what we needed. I realize now that we have to support our mom and ourselves, just how much he sacrificed for us and how he always put our needs and wants ahead of himself and how he never complained about having to support us. However, even though he could not give us everything we wanted, he always gave us freely of his time. Throughout my childhood, my dad would always play with us even though he was tired or took us to the park. As my brothers and I got older, he started taking us fishing, hunting, or camping in the mountains. He truly was the best dad I could ever ask for, and I trust you can see what a great person he really is. I also never felt threatened by him in any way throughout my childhood and even when he had to punish us, it was never cruel or unjust. He always loved us no matter what we did, and I am very grateful for the way in which he brought us up in a positive, loving, Christian environment. He also taught my brothers and I how to work at an early age so we could one day provide for ourselves. He always took us to church three times a week, which we still do, and was always looking for some way to help the congregation or help in any way around the church. During the COVID-19 pandemic he spent months making food for the families who were either sick or had a loved one in the hospital or had a loved one pass away. He was always my role model growing up, and I still hope I can one day be as great a father, husband, and human being as he is.

Robert Gutierrez, President, Capstone Masonry Inc.
Gutierrez writes as a former employer, describing Mora as punctual and “an extremely responsible individual.” He signed the letter as president of Capstone Masonry Inc. He is Robert Gutierrez Jr., a trustee of the church, which is a leadership position. Church organizational charts we have published list him as a trustee, and our 2023 reporting identified him as the owner of Capstone Masonry who “also happens to be a church trustee.” His letter does not mention that role and describes Mora only as an employee.

To whom it may concern,
My name is Robert Gutierrez, and I am writing this letter to attest to the professional character of Jose Mora, whom I have known for many years.
During his time working with our company, Jose consistently proved to be an extremely responsible individual. He is a very hard worker who could always be counted on to arrive on time and diligently complete his 8-hour work shifts. His strong work ethic, punctuality, and reliability are qualities that truly stand out in his character as an employee.
Please feel free to contact me if you require any further information.
Sincerely,
Robert Gutierrez

To Whom It May Concern,
This is to inform you, that having known Mr. Jose Mora for a number of years, I would like to testify as to his good character and dependability.
I have hired him to do work for me, and he has always been punctual, honest, and hardworking. He did excellent work as a handyman, and he offered many ingenious and creative solutions to on the job challenges. These solutions enhanced the finished product beyond my expectations.
What we have witnessed in Mr. Jose Mora is a man of high character and elevated work ethics. It is not often that you find someone of his caliber of trustworthiness. I would leave him alone at the job site, which was at my home, in the morning. In the evening, I would return from work to be pleasantly surprised to find a completed job that exceeded my expectations in terms of quality and aesthetics. Mr. Jose Mora is skillful in all manner of construction work; including stucco, pavers, lighting, plumbing, and electrical work. It is hard to find a man with this level of expertise in the construction industry that keeps his word in a punctual manner, while delivering a first rate product.
This is the type of man that has the qualities that I myself, as a business owner, look for in an employee. Should Mr. Jose Mora ever find that he is in need of employment, I would hire him without hesitation.
Some of my neighbors have commented on the excellent quality of work done on my house, inquiring for the name of the contractor. Mr. Jose Mora has always done excellent work at an honest and very fair price.
Should you have any questions about Mr. Mora’s character, feel free to phone me at [phone redacted].
Sincerely yours,

Preston Koss, family friend
Koss writes that he has known Mora since he was two years old, that Mora helped his family after his father died, and that Mora’s eldest son is his closest friend.
Read the letter
Your honor, my name is Preston Koss and I am a site coordinator for Wilson Electric. I have known Jose Mora since I was two. In the twenty years that I have known him, I have grown to be a close friend with him and his sons. A loving husband, a caring, father, and a generous friend- this is the life I have seen him live. When my father passed away he treated me and my family with immeasurable kindness. When my grandfather was handicapped, Mr. Mora made him meals and helped with chores. Even now, his eldest son is my closest friend and a testament to his father’s parental guidance.
I have continued to remain close to his family and am a firsthand witness to the negative impacts of this incarceration. His sons without the guidance of a father figure, his wife without the support of a husband-he is missed and needed.
I would ask to consider my testimony of the life Jose Mora lived and may God be with you in your decision.

Koss, 19, writes that he has known Mora his whole life and that one of Mora’s sons has been his best friend since childhood. The letter is unsigned and undated.
Read the letter
Your Honor, my name is Levi Koss. I am a nineteen year old who has recently graduated high school. I am currently working in the field of construction. I have known Jose Mora my entire life. During the past nineteen years I have only known him to be a respectful and good father. Never did I see him raise his voice at his wife or children. Jose Mora has always tried to help those around him including my grandfather who had his leg amputated. Mora was constantly bringing him dinner and checking up on him. He has dedicated countless hours to help those around him with projects.
One of his sons has been my best friend since childhood so I have firsthand witnessed how this tragedy has affected his family. He was their sole provider and a huge emotional support. He raised his boys to be respectful and helpful gentlemen who strive to be the best they can. I take that as a testament to his character and I hope you do as well. In conclusion, I hope you bare these thoughts upon your mind as you make your decision.
Samuel Talavera, cellmate
Talavera writes that he shared a cell with Mora at the Pima County Jail for about 10 months and that Mora’s “rehabilitation since his previous mistakes has been a personal inspiration to me.”
Read the letter
Dear Judge,
I have Known Mr. Jose Mora for the 10 months I, Samuel Talavera, have been incarcerated in Pima County Jail, and have been witness to his charactar and his behavior. Since the first day I met Mr Mora, he has been unfailingly sympathetic to the needs and problems of those around him, giving freely from his own limited possesions to those less fortunate than himself. His temperment has been both reliable and consistently an attribute to be admired. Mr Mora’s charactar and integnty [?] are true signs of a person who seeks to better himself and prove to be a credit to his family and the society he wishes to rejoin. No person can take back an already committed action, but Mr Mora’s rehabilitation since his previous mistakes has been a personal inspiration to me, and doubtlessly, several others. I can personally attest to these observations, because as his cellmate I spent a great deal of time in close proximity to him. I state these truths for the sole and exclusive purpose of their deserving to be Known, and receive no personal benefit from my words. This is a written testament of Mr. Mora’s charactar from my point of view, Knowing well the purpose of it as well as the seventy [?] of the legal proceedings to which they pertain.
Respectfully, Mr. Samuel Talavera
What This Could Mean for Noriega’s Case
This section is our own analysis. We are not attorneys.
Noriega is charged under A.R.S. § 13-3620(A), which requires clergy and others to report suspected child abuse to police or child welfare authorities. KOLD has reported that the charges against him involve multiple reports he received from congregation members about Mora’s conduct. The defense filing now adds, from Mora’s side, that the abuse was confessed “within his church” and not reported, and Santini told the court that “the church confronted him.”
The reporting law has a narrow exemption for clergy (a carve-out from the duty to report) that covers “a confidential communication or a confession” received in a clergy role, which the clergy member may withhold if he decides doing so is “reasonable and necessary” within his religion. In July the Arizona Supreme Court held in Doe v. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints that courts must give substantial deference (heavy weight) to a church’s own understanding of what counts as a confession. A defense lawyer for Noriega could point to the word “confessed.” But the exemption does not cover what a pastor learns in other ways, such as reports from members or his own observations, and the Court left open an exception for “fraud or collusion for secular purposes,” meaning a scheme or secret agreement made for non-religious reasons. Nothing in the record yet says who heard the confession or whether Noriega was among them. Because Noriega has not been restored to competency (treated until he can understand the case against him), his case is largely on hold, and these questions are unlikely to be argued soon.
Watch the Hearing
The full 10-minute hearing is below. The video was recorded by KVOA News 4 Tucson as the shared (pool) camera for all media. By court order, the camera did not show Mora or any victim; audio was permitted.
Read the full transcript
Transcribed by GDT Research from the KVOA pool recording and lightly edited for readability. The victims’ initials, spoken in court, are replaced with [Victim 1] and [Victim 2], and one detail that could identify a victim is omitted. Speaker labels are ours.
THE COURT: This is State of Arizona versus Jose Mora, CR2025-1749.
MR. ROACH / MR. SANTINI: Good morning, Your Honor.
MR. SANTINI: Carter Santini, appearing for Mr. Mora. He is present in custody, seated here to my right, being assisted by the Spanish-speaking court interpreter. [inaudible] No legal reason not to proceed with sentencing, so long as you received my materials Friday.
THE COURT: I did. I received them and I have reviewed them. I appreciate that. All right, Mr. Mora, good morning. Can you please tell me your full name and your date of birth?
MR. MORA: [inaudible]
THE COURT: Mr. Mora, based on your plea of guilty entered on September 28th of this year, it is the judgment of the court that you are guilty of Amended Count 1, attempted sexual conduct with a minor. That is a preparatory dangerous crime against children. It is a Class 3 felony. It is both non-dangerous and non-repetitive. The offense was committed between May 1st and August 31st of 2012, and it was committed in violation of A.R.S. 13-1001, 13-1405(A), and 13-705.
This is the time set for sentencing, Mr. Mora, and in preparation for the hearing today, I did read the presentence report. Your attorney submitted a memo with other attachments that I have read, including numerous letters of support. In a minute, Mr. Mora, I will ask you if you have anything you’d like to tell me before I make my decision. But first I will get the recommendations of the lawyers. Mr. Roach, what is the State’s recommendation?
MR. ROACH: Judge, the victim [Victim 1] had indicated to victim witness services that he might be present. I don’t see him via Teams. I think I can communicate [for] the victim [Victim 1] and victim [Victim 2]. I talked with victim [Victim 1] quite some time ago about this case, and he talked for a long time. [Detail omitted.] He talked for a long time about how this whole thing had messed up his life, and he had made poor choices and done other things that had significantly affected him because of the abuse at the hands of Mr. Mora. He indicated that he wanted Mr. Mora to face consequences. He indicated that he did not want to have to testify at trial, although he would have if it had come down to it. But most importantly, he wanted the court and everyone to know that this had a long-term impact on his life, so much so that he reported it when it became public so many years later.
Victim [Victim 2] also had talked to [me] a long time ago with a similar kind of request, in that he felt like it was, when he became an adult, it was his obligation to come forward and say this happened to him, not just for himself, but in case there was any danger to anyone else from Mr. Mora. He also believed that consequences should occur so that he cannot engage in this kind of behavior again.
Because there are two separate victims, and because of the length of some of these events, and because of his position of power with the church that he was in over these two people, Judge, I would suggest that the maximum term of 15 years is appropriate. Thank you.
THE COURT: Mr. Santini.
MR. SANTINI: Thank you, Your Honor. Mr. Mora is requesting the mitigated sentence of eight years, and I think that there’s sufficient mitigation to provide for that sentence. I’m not going to exactly rehash everything that was submitted in my memorandum, but clearly Mr. Mora is much more than these allegations. He has a very strong community that supports him and talks to his strength as a father, as a husband, and all that he does for those in his church, those in his community.
He was sexually abused himself. It’s pretty common in these types of cases to see these patterns of abuse happen. The strength of that mitigator, by case law, is directly correlated to how much it had an impact in the case at hand. And I think that the cycles of trauma that we see, that should be an extreme mitigating factor due to the abuse that Mr. Mora himself faced. He never received those resources to deal with that trauma. His abuser never got justice, and he didn’t know how to seek justice for his abuser.
So he’s deeply, deeply remorseful. He knows how the victims in this case feel. He accepted responsibility by nature of taking the plea, and he’s demonstrated constant remorse for the victims in this case, and he has said that since day one. He did cooperate with the police investigation. He did confess when confronted with that.
I think, Judge, that this is a unique case because there’s another side of culpability with the church structure that protected Mr. Mora from accountability when these happened so many years ago. He did a lot of work when the church confronted him, but the nature of this church, Judge, in many ways has been described as cult-like, where they would not go to the police, they would not cooperate with law enforcement, and they were very, very insular. So had, over a decade ago when these events occurred, the church not been so secretive and so clandestine, the victims may have had the opportunity for more resources when they were in their youth. So I ask that you consider that as well as mitigation.
Mr. Mora is not [inaudible], and eight years does provide the chance that he might be able to spend some time later in his life, because he’s not in the best health, surrounded by family, and not an effective life sentence. I think anything over the eight years, given Mr. Mora’s age and health, would functionally be a life sentence. So I ask that you consider those factors and make a good decision.
THE COURT: Thank you, Mr. Santini. Mr. Mora, is there anything else you would like to say?
MR. MORA: No.
THE COURT: So, Mr. Mora, as you know, based on the terms of your plea agreement, probation is not available. The plea agreement does require a prison term, and the court does find that a term in the Department of Corrections is both warranted and appropriate.
In aggravation, I have considered the emotional impact that your crimes had on the victims. I’ve also considered that even though you pled to one count, there were multiple incidents. In mitigation, I have considered the fact that you have no criminal history. I’ve also considered your remorse and your acceptance of responsibility.
It is ordered as to Amended Count 1, Mr. Mora, that you be sentenced to the presumptive term of 10 years in the Department of Corrections. It is ordered that sentence run from today’s date. It is ordered you be given 558 days credit towards that sentence. It is ordered, upon your release from prison, Mr. Mora, that you serve a term of community supervision as is required by the statute. It is further ordered that you register as a sex offender in accordance with A.R.S. 13-3821.
And it is further ordered that you pay a $20 time payment fee, a $20 probation surcharge, a $13 additional assessment, a $4 victim rights enforcement assessment, a $50 address confidentiality program assessment, a $500 forensic assessment, a $50 monthly GPS fee if ordered, and a sex offender registration fee in the amount of $250. Mr. Mora, it’s ordered that the attorney’s fees and indigent administration assessment fee [inaudible] are both waived.
So, Mr. Mora, if you think mistakes were made in your case, you have 90 days from today’s date to file a notice of post-conviction relief. If you can’t afford the necessary records and transcripts, the court will provide them to you. If you can’t afford a lawyer for the review, one will be appointed for you. It is possible that once you finish serving the terms of your sentence, you might in some limited fashion be eligible to have this conviction set aside and the rights suspended by it restored and your records sealed. You will not be eligible for all of it based on the nature of the offense, but we will give you information on how to exercise any rights you are eligible for today. Once you sign for your rights and provide us with a fingerprint, you will be excused.
It is ordered you be transported to the Department of Corrections to begin serving the sentence. It is further ordered, as is required by the plea agreement, that the other case number, CR2026-0731, be dismissed, and that is with prejudice.
MR. ROACH: Yes.
THE COURT: It’s ordered that the 0731 matter be dismissed with prejudice. Anything else, Mr. Santini?
MR. SANTINI: Not to me, thank you.
THE COURT: Anything else from the State?
MR. ROACH: No, thank you.
THE COURT: Thank you, everyone.
News Coverage
KVOA News 4 Tucson covered the sentencing in two reports: one on the sentence itself, and another in which former members of the church who attended the hearing reacted. KVOA reported that it tried to reach the church by email and in person and received no response. The Arizona Daily Star, whose 2024 investigation first brought the abuse to light, also reported on the sentencing. Telemundo Arizona covered it in Spanish: “Sentencian a ex miembro de iglesia en Tucson por conducta sexual con menor”. Telemundo also reported the September guilty plea in a video segment posted on Facebook and Instagram.
October 19: Noriega Still on the Waitlist
Eight days before Mora’s sentencing, Noriega’s case came back before Judge Mark Hotchkiss for a Rule 11 review hearing (a court check on whether he is mentally fit to stand trial and how his treatment is going). According to the minute entry, the hearing lasted one minute, from 9:24 to 9:25 a.m. Noriega was not present; his attendance was waived, meaning he was excused from coming. The court set the next review for January 11, 2027, and said Noriega’s presence may be waived again “if he maintains contact with counsel and remains on the waitlist for out-of-custody restoration.”
Judge Hotchkiss found Noriega incompetent but restorable on April 27, 2026, meaning not able to understand the case now but likely able to with treatment. Almost six months later, the minute entry indicates he has not yet entered the out-of-custody restoration program. As we explained in our last update, time on a waiting list does not count against the 21-month limit on restoration orders. A separate 21-month window under A.R.S. § 13-4514(F), measured from the April 27 finding, governs when the court must decide whether he can still be restored, waiting list or not. By our count it ends in late January 2028.
Correcting the Record
Two news outlets got important details of these cases wrong. We are correcting them here because the court records say otherwise.
- KGUN 9 ran its story under the headline “Ex-pastor who pleaded guilty to sex crimes against minor sentenced to prison” and described Mora as “a former Tucson pastor.” Mora was never the pastor. He was a member of the church. The church’s pastor is Isaac Noriega, who is charged in a separate case, has pleaded not guilty and has not been convicted of anything. KGUN also gave Mora’s age as 57; court records list his date of birth as August 18, 1967, which makes him 59. And it described his plea as “attempted sexual contact with a minor”; the court record says attempted sexual conduct with a minor.
- KVOA reported that a judge ruled “this spring” that Noriega was competent to stand trial. The court ruled the opposite. On April 27, 2026, Judge Mark Hotchkiss found Noriega incompetent but restorable.
The Court Records in This Update
These are the public court records this update relies on, with what each one shows. All are from Pima County Superior Court. Click any page image to open the full document.
Defense Sentencing Memorandum, filed October 23, 2026 (CR20251749)
The 41-page filing from the Pima County Public Defender’s Office asked for the minimum sentence of 8 years. The argument itself runs five pages. It cites Mora’s own childhood abuse, his lack of any criminal record, his age, his family’s support, his remorse, his cooperation with police, and the 74 courses he completed in jail through the Edovo tablet program, including classes on overcoming abuse and controlling emotions. It is also the filing that says the crimes “were initially confessed to many years ago within his church, although they went unreported to the police.” Attached are a cost sheet showing that a year in the Arizona Department of Corrections costs about $25,000 per inmate, which works out to roughly $250,000 for a 10-year term; the 15 letters described above; and Mora’s Edovo course transcript. Read the full filing (PDF, phone numbers and street addresses redacted).
Order on KVOA’s Request for Media Coverage, October 23, 2026 (filed October 26)
Under Rule 122 of the Arizona Supreme Court’s rules, news organizations must ask permission to film in a courtroom. Judge Johnson granted KVOA’s request to use a camera at the sentencing, “consistent with the Court’s ruling in a prior proceeding,” with limits: KVOA could not record or photograph Mora or any victim, and could not photograph a victim in the audience without the court’s permission. The order placed no limit on audio. That is why the hearing video shows only the judge and the lawyers.
Amended Minute Entry, October 6, 2026 (CR20251749 and CR20260731)
A minute entry is the clerk’s written record of what happened at a hearing. This one corrects the record of the September 28 change of plea. The original entry described the offense as “Attempted Sexual Conduct With Minor, a Class Three Felony.” The amended entry adds the words “a preparatory dangerous crime against children,” which matches the plea agreement. The label matters because dangerous crimes against children carry their own, stricter sentencing rules under Arizona law. Judge Johnson used the same wording when she entered judgment on October 27.
Minute Entry, Rule 11 Review Hearing, October 19, 2026 (CR20252710, Isaac Noriega)
The one-minute review in Noriega’s case, shown above. It sets his next review for January 11, 2027, and conditions his absence on his staying “on the waitlist for out-of-custody restoration.” Open the minute entry (PDF).
Sentencing Hearing Recording, October 27, 2026
The full hearing, recorded by the KVOA News 4 Tucson pool camera, and our complete transcript appear in the “Watch the Hearing” section above. Earlier records in both cases, including the plea agreement, are in our previous update.

Se tiene que entender que esta asambleas es manipulada, oprimida y gobernada por Isaac Noriega y sus ancianos, que por decirlo correctamente los asi llamados ancianos faltos de caracter y voluntad propia son facil mente manipulados por la voluntad de su lider, por consecuencias estas nefastas desiciones que sin importarles las victimas, los crimenes que se cometen alli, se les a informado constantemente a las autoridades las constantes y distintos delitos que se cometen actualmente, y por falta de testigos que por temor no dan un paso adelante,
Testificamos que estas personas que escribieron las cartas son personas completamentes manipuladas por este anciano decrepito que por recordar se le dijo al juez que ya no ejercita el pastorado y mucho menos que ya no ejerce la.predica, bañados en mentiras, se le apoya, y a quien no abedezca, se le castiga severamente, Lamentamos profundamente y no dejaremos de declarar al Mundo, las tremendas faltas e irresponsabilidad de los lideres de este culto ya que conformes con su pago, que vendria a ser el reconocimiento de su posicion a sus personas, y el temor que se fomenta en la juventud, son El Nido perfecto para abusos moustrosos y delitos que silencian, asi pues las autoridades, limitadas por el encierro de tal.asamblea quedan cortas para proceder.
Sin embargo a Dios grasias ya estan señalados en nuestras sociedad y mundialmente tambien.
Y resaltar que tenemos los ojos puestos a cada movimiento que hagan, HASTA PRONTO.
