"Barry Fike, 67, of Fillmore, was arrested on Monday following an investigation by the Ventura County Child Exploitation and Human Trafficking Task Force.

Fike, a minister at Fillmore Church of Christ, pleaded not guilty to all charges during his arraignment Wednesday.

He became the subject of an investigation only days ago, when he allegedly started communicating online with a person he believed to be a 15-year-old girl.

“The conversations were sexual in nature and Fike allegedly shared explicit photos of himself with the victim, who was actually an undercover officer,” the Ventura County District Attorney’s Office said in a news release."

Interesting that Fike went from Westlake Village, a prosperous predominantly white planned community to Fillmore, a rural and agricultural area with predominantly Latino residents.
