Baltimore County Police said Monday that a Cockeysville man who leads a youth group at the Clynmalira United Methodist Church in Phoenix was arrested Friday and charged with possession and distribution of child pornography.
Robert David Wright, 35, of the 10000 block of Hillgreen Circle in Cockeysville, was found to have “downloaded to his home computer thousands of pornographic images of female babies, toddlers, and prepubescent girls, including images of children being raped,” Baltimore County Police said.
The investigation, which was conducted by the county police department’s Crimes Against Children Unit, showed that Wright shared the images with other online users, police said.
In a release posted on their website, county police said the investigation is ongoing and materials seized from his home are being reviewed, but there is currently no evidence any of the children in the photos were church members or sexually abused by Wright himself.
