Heath bailed out on Dec. 7.<\/p>\n<p>Laguna Hills sheriff&#8217;s investigators responded to a call for service in October that led them to later find evidence that several years earlier, the accuser was sexually abused by Heath, who was the family&#8217;s bible study group leader.<\/p>\n<p>Heath was also a member of Generations Church in Placentia and owned and operated from 2010-12 the &#8220;Action Kids&#8221; youth fitness center in Placentia, deputies said. He also led a bible study group known as &#8220;The Branch&#8221; and was the founder and president of &#8220;Deed and Truth Ministries,&#8221; a nonprofit organization in San Diego, deputies said.<\/p>\n<p>Due to Heath\u2019s access to minors, SVD investigators believe there may be additional victims.
