Cristopher Bernal Alfaro, 30, is charged with two counts of transmitting obscene material to a child. Lt. Stacy Bates, a Huntsville police spokesman, said Alfaro used his position to commit the alleged crimes.

The name of the church Alfaro is affiliated with was not immediately available, and no additional information was released Wednesday. The investigation into Alfaro's actions is ongoing.

He was released from jail Tuesday on $25,000 bond for each charge.

"If anyone feels their child or a child they know has been a victim of exploitation, they are encouraged to contact the Huntsville Police Department at 256-722-7100," Bates said in a statement.
