A 35-year-old youth group leader at a Baltimore County church has been charged with possession and distribution of child pornography.

An investigation found that Robert David Wright of Cockeysville had downloaded thousands of pornographic images of female babies, toddlers and prepubescent girls, including images of children being raped, onto his home computer, county police said. Investigators also found that Wright had shared those images electronically with other users.

Wright is being held at the Baltimore County Detention center on $150,000 bail. Wright is a youth group leader at Clynmalira United Methodist Church. Police say there is no evidence at this time that any of the children pictured in the photos and videos recovered at Wright’s home were members of Clynmalira UMC, or that Wright sexually abused children himself.
