BRISTOL, Conn. (WTNH)– A youth minister from Plainville faced child porn charges in Bristol, Thursday night.
The arrest warrant for Jonathan Spann details a man initially in denial about his alleged activities, then later admitting to investigators that he’s been downloading child pornography for almost seven years.
In February of 2012, Bristol Police received a call from a special agent from the Department of Homeland Security. A lead was developed from a website called “Liberal Morality” that was a child pornography website.
An IP address would, eventually, lead them to the home of a married Bristol couple, Jonathan Spann and his wife Christina Dube.
The arrest warrant states that in his first interview with police, Spann only admitted to accessing adult pornography. But when police first accessed his hard drives, they discovered many images of child pornography in “free space.”
