MONROEVILLE, Pa. —A youth pastor was arrested Thursday on child pornography charges after search warrants were executed at his family’s Monroeville home, the District Attorney’s Office said.
Andrew Patterson, 45, kept his head down and did not comment as Monroeville police took him for arraignment by District Judge Jeffrey Herbst.
An FBI special agent saw more than 1,000 images and video files depicting children in sexual acts or poses on a desktop computer that was seized from Patterson’s home on Foxboro Drive, according to the criminal complaint.
A naked female infant and a girl about 4-6 years old were among the minors seen in the videos, according to the complaint.
