She told deputies that she started visiting the pastor for counseling after experiencing a previous sexual assault.
She said what started as Valdez inappropriately touching her later progressed into sexual intercourse.
The woman said she didn't come forward sooner because Valdez had threatened to expose the situation to her family.
She told deputies she eventually came forward after watching a documentary on survivors of sexual abuse.
