Baptist Pastor Sentenced for Child Pornography


A former pastor escaped jail time but was ordered to register as a sex offender for possession of child pornography, 10TV News reported on Thursday.

John W. Adams was arrested in July 2007 during an Internet investigation led by Upper Arlington police. Investigators said Adams was caught downloading child pornography at his north Columbus home.

Adams was the former pastor of the Calvary Freewill Baptist Church in Darbydale.

In September, Adams pleaded guilty to a felony charge of pandering sexually-oriented material involving a minor.

On Wednesday a judge sentenced Adams, 67, to three years probation, which prohibits him from accessing the Internet and having unsupervised contact with children, 10TV News reported.

He was also ordered to register as a sex offender for the next 25 years.
