A Philadelphia-area priest who pretended to be a teenage girl in an email with a minor in order to get lewd photos of her has been arrested on child porn charges after he allegedly posted the pics to an Instagram account — and the District Attorney handling the case is reportedly concerned there may be other victims.
Rev. Mark Haynes, a 55-year-old priest at the Saints Simon & Jude Parish in Westtown Township, Pennsylvania, was arrested by Chester County law enforcement officials after a local detective was notified by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children that an Instagram account was posting child pornography, authorities announced in a CBS Philadelphia report Friday.
Haynes posted several photos of a nude 14-year-old girl that he allegedly obtained via graphic email exchanges with her in which he posed as 16-year-old female.
