AUSTIN, Texas – A Georgetown man was sentenced in a federal court in Austin on Wednesday to 70 months in prison and 10 years of supervised release for an enhanced charge of possession of child pornography.

According to court documents, David Lloyd Walther, 57, knowingly searched for, downloaded, distributed and possessed child sexual abuse material, including child pornography—some of which depicted prepubescent minors—using BitTorrent, a peer-to-peer file sharing network. During a search of Walther’s home and vehicle in November 2022, two large computer hard drives were located and found to contain more than 100,000 images and more than 5,000 videos of child sexual abuse material. At the time of his arrest, Walther was the pastor of Faith Baptist Church in Round Rock.

    We have to do some thing about the pastor to pederast pipeline. Maybe if we reduce the number of pastors, there might be a reduction in pederasts? At least less opportunities to prey on others. Let’s just get rid of the whole organized, and organized religious leadership entirely. How is that they can hear god, but we can’t? How is that they know what god wants? And why is it almost alway about money?
