Minister arrested on kiddie porn charges told authorities he was doing research to get some web site shut down
WACO, Texas — A minister who was arrested on child pornography charges told authorities he was doing research to get some Web sites shut down, police said.
Henry Edgington, 63, of Chalk Bluff, was charged with seven counts of child pornography possession. He was released from the McLennan County Jail on $70,000 bond Thursday after he surrendered to police.
Edgington, a minister at the Elm Mott Church of Christ near Waco, did not immediately return a call Friday.
A relative found a box containing child pornography at Edgington's home and approached Waco Police's Crimes Against Children detectives last week, police spokesman Steve Anderson said. The Police Department has jurisdiction to investigate crimes brought to its attention, even though Edgington lives in a Waco suburb, Anderson said.
Edgington told detectives he downloaded the pornography to give to a congressman in an effort to have the Web sites shut down, Anderson said.
"Unless you have a badge, it's illegal to look at child pornography, no matter what your motive," Anderson said.

... and your honor, when they caught my client with the 30 kilos of high-grade cocaine, he was on the way to the DEA office in Chicago, where he felt he might be able to turn it into authorities and keep it from hitting the streets, he had no confidence in the local authorities in his home State of Texas. It was concealed in the fender wells of his Suburban to protect it from theft.
This guy didn't perhaps have a bus buried in his backyard for a bunker too did he? We are talking about Waco, here.

I worked in a drug rehabilitation center under the sponsorship of a local church. The director of the center was a minister. He ceased being the director when he was found by police in a local park at 2:00 AM with an underaged girl--13--who he said he was "counseling". Stupid and criminal go together like salt and pepper.
