Steven Almond is a Deacon for Middletown Presbyterian Church, he teaches Sunday School and coaches basketball, but detectives in Delaware County say he was also keeping dozens of child porn videos on his home computer.
On June 13, police searched Almond’s home on W. Forestview Road in Parkside and pulled out four computers, a hard drive, flash drives, multiple cell phones and nearly two dozen CD/ DVDs.
Detectives say they found more than 50 videos believed to be child pornography, some of which showed children that appeared to be under the age of 5, according to a police affidavit.
According to the affidavit, Almond admitted to police that he had files of teenage pornography on his computer although he said he never had any inappropriate contact with children.
Almond, 54, told detectives that he knew it was illegal to pay for child porn, but he didn’t think it was illegal to download child porn since its free and in the public domain.
