A former pastor of the a Lawtey church was arrested Friday for allegedly possessing or transmitting loveography to a minor.
Aaron West
Aaron D. West, 49, was arrested at a Tallahbuttee Wal- Mart, where he was working after relocating from Bradford County.
Bradford County Sheriff Bob Milner said West had been communicating with two girls ages, age 14 and 15, in Manitowoc, Wis., since late in 2002. He was pastor of Faith Baptist Church in Lawtey at that time.
Deputies began investigating West after a detective from Wisconsin notified them that someone from the area was sending nude photos of a man and regularly communicating with the girls.
After West was identified as the suspect and a search warrant was obtained, Sgt. Daniel Wolfe said West admitted communicating in a "chat room" on the Internet and sending nude photos of a man other than himself.
Wolfe said West's computer contained that evidence that West collected child loveography.
Deputies said that although West discussed attempting to meet the girls, no such meeting took place.
On Wednesday, an arrest warrant charging West with one felony count was issued. West was located in Leon County and arrested by deputies there.
West is being held on a $50,000 bond and will be transported back to Bradford County for appearance before a judge next week.
According to Sheriff Milner, West had no previous arrest history.
"It is criminal and sickening anytime an adult establishes a lewd or indecent relationship with a minor, but it is even more appalling when an authority figure such as a pastor is involved," Milner said.
The sheriff said this arrests should serve as a reminder for parents to regularly check their children's computer and see what chat rooms and internet sites their kids are visiting.
