A former Texas pastor has pleaded guilty to possessing and trafficking child pornography. And to make matters even worse, he did it on his church’s computers.
Steve Richardson, pastor at the First United Methodist Church in Royse City, Texas, pleaded guilty to two federal counts – possession of child pornography and transporting and shipping child pornography.
The scumbag faces the possibility of decades in prison, hundreds of thousands of dollars in fines, and lifetime supervised release following imprisonment and restitution. He’ll be sentenced on June 15.
Richardson admitted to trading child pornography on his church computer, but told prosecutors church officials were unaware of his offenses.
This sicko used the disturbing email address “girlpedolover@hushmail.com when he distributed child pornography to undercover agents over a period of months in 2007 and 2008.
No funny closing here. Have a lovely time in prison, Steve. Hope you make some nice friends.

My bet is he will be real popular in prison with the boys
Holy crap. I live on the border of Rockwall County and am going to be a groomsman in a wedding in that church in June. Small world.
I hope that creep gets life.
