BREAKING NEWS – Palatka, Florida – A Florida man who worked as a youth pastor and public school teacher was arrested after he allegedly downloaded child pornography and used his church’s Wi-Fi.
Edward Wilds III, 44, was busted in Palatka, Florida, this week after police said he downloaded the illicit material at Palatka Baptist Temple after a service, the Putnam County Sheriff’s Office said in a Facebook post.
“In total 54,000 images were discovered on accounts and devices associated with Wilds. The majority of the images were pornographic,” police said.
“It is obviously a battle for my soul,” Wilds said to a judge at his arraignment. “God wants it and Satan wants it. I have not decided yet on who gets it, because both sides have compelling arguments, and I’m trying to remain fair and objective before I choose my eternal destiny.”
