Florida sheriff sends warning to 'sick, perverted, scum' after pastor busted using church Wi-Fi for child porn
2023-04-23
[FoxNews] A Florida man who worked as a youth pastor and public school teacher was arrested after he allegedly downloaded child pornography and used his church’s Wi-Fi.

Edward Wilds III, 44, was busted in Palatka, Florida, this week after police said he downloaded the illicit material at Palatka Baptist Temple after a service, the Putnam County Sheriff’s Office said in a Facebook post.

Police were allegedly alerted to the illegal activity through a cyber-tip from a social media site.

"In total 54,000 images were discovered on accounts and devices associated with Wilds. The majority of the images were pornographic," police said.

"Wilds told detectives he had been banned by the company of one social media site several times. Detectives discovered messaging conversations where Wilds was asked by another user for images of children between the ages of 14-16 years old. He sent 42 images."

Detectives met with Wilds in March and took control of his electronic devices for a forensic download. Wilds was suspended and removed from the classroom where he taught sixth grade at Middleton-Burney Elementary School.
