FL Baptist Youth Pastor Gets 50 Years For Child Porn

The Pensacola News-Journal reports:

The former Calvary Baptist Church youth director arrested for hiding a camera in the church bathroom to record people and possessing child pornography was sentenced to 50 years in state prison Friday after taking a plea agreement.

David Nims, 40, was charged with 25 counts of child pornography possession and 16 counts of video voyeurism, and he faced up to 515 years in prison before he took a plea deal. He not only recorded adults in the church bathroom, but also two 6-year-olds, a 10-year-old and a 14-year-old.

As part of the agreement, Nims pleaded no contest to 12 of the 25 child porn charges and 15 of the 16 video voyeurism charges, according to court records.

From an April 2021 report:

Escambia County Sheriff Chip Simmons says the Pensacola church children’s director who has already been arrested multiple times may have more victims. 37-year-old David Nims was arrested late Friday for a third time after investigators say he secretly recorded people in public restrooms at a church in Escambia County.

Simmons says deputies recently discovered that eight additional victims were secretly recorded. This follows Nims’ initial arrest back in June regarding a secret camera hidden in a church’s bathroom. According to Nims’ most recent arrest report, investigators reviewed over 180 videos that showed multiple people using the restroom.
