BIDDEFORD — A local pastor who ministers to the homeless in downtown Biddeford has been charged with possession of child pornography.
James Napier, 60, was arrested Saturday at his home in Alfred by Maine State Police after detectives searched the residence and found more than 100 pictures on his computer of children, some under the age of 12, engaged in sexual activity.
Members of the state police computer crimes unit received a tip that led them to search Napier’s home, according to spokesman Stephen McCausland.
Napier is the pastor of New Beginnings Christian Mission, which ministers to the poor and homeless in Biddeford.
