A Texas pastor pleaded guilty this week to possession of child pornography after he was found with more than 100,000 child sex abuse images, according to local authorities.
David Lloyd Walther, 57, was the pastor of Faith Baptist Church in Round Rock at the time of his arrest, local outlet KSAT12 reported. Walther pleaded guilty in federal court in Austin to an enhanced charge of possession of child pornography, according to local Fox affiliate Fox7Austin.
During a search of Walther’s home and vehicle in Nov. 2022, authorities found two hard drives containing over 100,000 images and 5,000 videos of child sexual abuse material, according to a Thursday press release from the U.S. Attorney’s office of the Western District of Texas.
