57-year-old Pastor David Lloyd Walther in Texas this week admitted to having a trove of BDSM and bestiality-themed child sexual abuse material, some of which authorities said he downloaded and saved on a computer belonging to his church.
Federal investigators said they traced downloads of the CSAM (Child Sexual Abuse Material) to an IP address connected to the Faith Baptist Church in Round Rock in Round Rock, Texas, where Walther was the pastor. Round Rock is about 20 miles north of Austin. In a probable cause affidavit, prosecutors wrote that the pastor had a computer folder titled “BDSM,” which contained graphic CSAM, including an image of a nude boy with a collar on his neck being sexually abused, a similar image of a female toddler, and images of nude young boys and girls being restrained by ropes and tools.
Walther also created a computer folder titled “Zoo,” which, among other abhorrent material, contained a bestiality video involving a dog and a female toddler “likely less than three years old,” the document states.
Walther told authorities that he didn’t know he was sharing child pornography through the BitTorrent network and also apologized “for his actions,” a federal complaint said.
Walther faces a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison and a maximum fine of $250,000, according to the news release.
Walther served as a pastor for the Faith Baptist Church in Round Rock for the past 18 years.
