A San Jose pastor and the former head of a South Bay community group were convicted of a domestic violence attack on a woman with whom he had a relationship, authorities said.

The Santa Clara County District Attorney's Office said on Monday that a jury last week convicted Ray Fitzgerald Montgomery of assaulting a 42-year-old woman in his home in 2024.

At the time, the 59-year-old Montgomery was the executive director of San Jose-based People Acting in Community Together (PACT), a faith-based advocacy group. Montgomery stepped down as the head of the organization following the domestic violence accusation.
