Tennessee Pastor Arrested For Uploading Child Porn

April 18, 2023 Crime, Religion

Nashville’s CBS affiliate reports:

A now former pastor of a Williamson County church has been arrested for using the church’s internet to upload child sex abuse material. 50-year-old Daryl Hayes was indicted on six charges of sexual exploitation of a minor by a Williamson County grand jury. The investigation began after a tip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. Deputies say neither Hayes’ family or the church were aware of what he was doing.

UPDATE:

The tip led to the search of the Berry’s Chapel Church of Christ, where Hayes was lead pastor, and his residence. While details of the search were not immediately made available, Hayes was immediately fired from the church, according to the release. Detectives do not believe there were any local child victims or any additional concerns for the public, the release said.

Of note, Hayes’ church is in the city of Franklin, which last week narrowly approved a Pride festival after a viciously anti-LGBTQ push by Christian locals including former SNL cast member Victoria Jackson. How many of Hayes’ flock were at that city council meeting?
