ENGLEWOOD, Fla. (AP) — A Florida minister and registered sex offender has been arrested after authorities followed up on a lead that he had child porn on his home computer.

Sarasota County Sheriff's officials tell news outlets that 66-year-old Charles Andrews was arrested Tuesday. He's charged with 500 felony counts of possession of child pornography and three counts of failing to meet sex offender requirements.

The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children tipped authorities to two email accounts belonging to Andrews used to download child porn. They traced the email accounts to his home IP address.

Andrews is a pastor at Osprey Church of Christ.

Andrews is a registered sex offender who was convicted in 2006 of second-degree sexual abuse in Alabama. He's in jail with a more than $5 million bond.

1. I wonder if his more than likely trump humper

congregation is going to have a bake sale to get him out of jail?

2. 10% of $5 billion is still quite a lot of money to raise

They would do better to trundle on down to the jail and explain how this was clearly Obama's fault... or maybe Hillary's.

3. A sex offender preaching to the people? Hmmm

That Church takes forgiveness seriously .

[Goodheart]

6. Well, here's what he told his congregation...

I used to pray and pray and pray for Jesus to bring me little children to molest, until I realized that Jesus doesn't work that way. So I just TOOK me some of those little darlings and prayed for forgiveness, instead.

4. What. The. Fuck?!

He is already a convicted sex offender and he’s still a minister?

This is Wonderland and Alice will come save us any minute now. Or maybe we’re in Oz and Dorothy will come.

[Goodheart]

5. Alerting Attorney General Barr!!!!

Protect this man, dammit! Shouldn't the separation of church and state prohibit his indictment until he's no longer a pastor?

7. Good one.
