EFFINGHAM COUNTY, GA - Two men including a local priest are under arrest and facing child pornography charges.
Bruce Fehr, 54, and Zachary Giebner, 33, were arrested following a two month long investigation.

The Effingham County Sheriff's Office says that both men were downloading child pornography and search warrants were executed Thursday morning at each of their Wilmington Island homes.

Both men are being held at the Effingham County Jail on charges of Sexual Exploitation of Children.

Fehr is a rector of Saint Francis of the Islands Episcopal Church.

According to his biography on the church's website, Fehr was ordained to priesthood in October 2013.

WSAV also spoke to him back in February for "Ashes to Go" which coincided with Ash Wednesday.

News 3 has also learned that Giebner is a former Bryan County school teacher who resigned last year over allegations of inappropriate conduct with a student.

The investigation was conducted by the FBI-led Georgia Child Exploitation Task Force.
