Former Round Rock pastor pleads guilty child pornography charges

A former Round Rock pastor pleaded guilty in federal court Tuesday to an “enhanced charge of possession of child pornography,” according to a news release from the U.S. Department of Justice.

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, according to the DOJ.

Two large computers were found during a search of Walther’s home and vehicle in November 2022 that contained more than 100,000 images and more than 5,000 videos of child sex abuse material, the release said.

2. What Hitchens said about Catholic priests also applies to preachers, pastors, youth pastors, etc.

"And if anyone came to my door as a babysitter wearing holy orders, I'd first call a cab and then the police."

Walther was the pastor of Faith Baptist Church in Round Rock at the time of his arrest, the release said.

The Round Rock Police Department said Walther volunteered with the department as a chaplain for “several years until around 2012.”
