MONTANDON — The pastor of Montandon Baptist Church in Northumberland County has been accused of possessing and distributing child pornography.
Thomas M. Marker, 58, of the Montandon area, was arrested Tuesday by state police and jailed in lieu of $100,000 bail.
He is charged with nine counts of sexual abuse of children by disseminating child pornography and 10 counts of the same charge for possessing child pornography.
He also is charged with one count of criminal use of a communication device that alleges he distributed child pornography through his Internet account.
The charges stem from a search warrant executed Tuesday at Marker’s home in West Chillisquaque Twp. that police said had been identified as an address where child pornography had been uploaded.
