An Arkansas pastor has been arrested and charged with possession and distributing 100 counts of child sexual abuse materials.

DELIGHT, ARKANSAS, Ark. — An Arkansas pastor has now been arrested for his involvement in the possession and distribution of child sexual abuse materials.

According to reports, on September 25, a search warrant was executed by Arkansas State Police after they received two cyber tips from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children that were made on both Snapchat and Kik.

After reviewing the digital evidence, a search warrant was obtained for 43-year-old James Vincent Henry of Delight, Arkansas. 

Reports show that Henry is the pastor of the Crossroads Assembly of God Church in Delight. He has previously served as a youth pastor at several churches, including Newsong Church in Centerton where he also served on the media team.

He was ultimately arrested on October 14 and charged with 100 counts of possession, viewing, and distribution of child sexual abuse material.

Henry has since been transported to the Pike County Detention Center.
