COCKEYSVILLE, Md. —A 63-year-old Cockeysville man who is a youth group leader at a local church has been charged with possession and distribution of hundreds of thousands of pornographic images of extremely young children.
Gregory W. Gibson is being held at the Baltimore County Detention Center on $750,000 bail. He was arrested Thursday at his home.
Detectives in BCoPD’s Crimes Against Children Unit said it is one of the most serious child pornography cases they have ever seen.
“Our detectives say is one of the worst child porn cases they’ve ever seen,” Baltimore County police spokeswoman Elise Armacost said.
Police said so far they have discovered about 250,000 pornographic images of extremely young, prepubescent children — mostly girls — on Gibson’s computers and hard drives.
The images depict child sexual abuse and explicit sex acts and erotica involving children, police said.
