A former church and school leader has been indicted on charges of distribution and possession of child pornography, according to the U.S. Attorney's office.

Daniel Ivan Ashby, 39, of Thornton, was affiliated with Calvary Community Baptist Church and Community Christian School in Northglenn as a school administrator in 2011, prosecutors said.

According to the indictment, Ashby allegedly knowingly distributed child pornography across state lines.

"The defendant allegedly did knowingly possess child pornography, which has been shipped in interstate commerce," prosecutors said.

Ashby was arrested as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative launched in May 2006 to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse, prosecutors said.
