A pastor in Cleveland has been indicted after detectives discovered the man had over 100 images depicting child sex abuse material, NBC affiliate WRCB-TV reports.
A Bradley County Grand Jury indicted Richard Sentell, and he was arrested by the Bradley County Sherriff’s Office on Christmas Day.
An investigation was launched into Sentell after a reported cyber tip, leading to the search of his home and personal laptop, which revealed a large amount of child sex abuse-related images. He was booked the day after his arrest and remains in custody on a $75,000 bond.
Rick Sentell is listed as a senior pastor for Cornerstone Church of God. The church has been contacted for comment.
