A 57-year-old pastor in Texas this week admitted to having a trove of BDSM and bestiality-themed child sexual abuse material, some of which authorities said he downloaded and saved on a computer belonging to his church.

David Lloyd Walther pleaded guilty on Tuesday to one enhanced count of possession of child pornography, court documents reviewed by Law&Crime show.

Federal investigators said they traced downloads of the CSAM to an IP address connected to the Faith Baptist Church in Round Rock in Round Rock, Texas, where Walther was the pastor. Round Rock is about 20 miles north of Austin.

Walther faces up to 20 years in prison and up to $250,000 in fines.
