MADISON COUNTY, Ala. – A staffer at St. John the Baptist Catholic Church was arrested Tuesday morning and charged with possession and dissemination of child pornography.
John Lindbergh Ellard Martin, the Assistant Director for Parish Religious Education Program at St. John the Baptist Catholic Church, was arrested Tuesday.
Madison County Sheriff’s Office Captain Michael Salomonsky said investigators with the Madison County Sheriff’s Office and the Department of Homeland Security found evidence that Martin had used computers at his home and at St. John the Baptist Catholic Church, located on Hughes Road in Madison, to possess and disseminate images and video of sexual abuse of children.
Salomonsky said investigators do not currently know the identity of any children in the images and video. He said they have no evidence to suggest that local children were impacted, however, he couldn’t rule it out.
