Church Staffer Arrested After Giant Stash of Child Porn Found on Computer
July 16, 2017 by Hemant Mehta

Whenever church leaders are charged with being sexual predators, the details are always way more disturbing than you’d ever imagine.

Chad Robison is a 36-year-old long-time music director of Seven River Presbyterian Church in Lecanto, Florida. In May, one of his co-workers thought it’d be funny to play a prank on him that involved doing something on Robison’s computer… and that’s when he noticed Robison’s secret.

“On his personal laptop we have more than 3,000 videos and 350,000 photographs that our detectives have combed thru,” said [Citrus County Sheriff Mike Prendergast].

…

Investigators say many of those videos were recorded online webcam chats between Robison and underage girls, as young as 14, through the website Omegle.com. It’s a cam-to-cam chat site with users all over the globe.

“We have videos of Robison having virtual sex with an underage female who is not local as well as trying to coerce young girls to show him their breasts,” he said. “The defendant was secretly video and recording females in his restroom at his home over the course of the time he gathered pictures and videos.”

Jesus…

The church fired him immediately afterwards and he was charged with several sex crimes this past Thursday. There’s no indication he ever did anything criminal with kids at his church, but the people there obviously misplaced their trust. Police are questioning church members to make sure nothing else happened. Good on the co-worker, though, for alerting authorities to what he found. In another situation, this could’ve been a cover-up.

Incidentally, Seven River is affiliated with the Presbyterian Church in America, which believes homosexuality is a “serious threat… to young people in our society” and that parents must be warned “of the homosexual agenda being promoted through the agency of government schools.”
