A Kentucky pastor has been arrested and charged with soliciting explicit photos from an 11-year-old girl.

According to authorities, Hungerford sent messages to the girl requesting photos of her body. He allegedly admitted to contacting the girl and destroying his cellphone to prevent access to its contents.
Hungerford, a pastor at a church in Marshall County’s Aurora Community, was charged with tampering with physical evidence and unlawful use of electronic means to induce a minor to engage in prohibited activities.
