Story out of Minneapolis, Minnesota:
A pastor at a Cottage Grove church who has been charged with possessing child pornography told investigators that he took innocent photos of children at the church and turned them into graphic images.
Facebook reported that the Minnesota user was 47-year-old William Helker of Pine City, whose occupation was listed as an Associate/Youth Pastor at All Saints Lutheran Church in Cottage Grove. He also went by the names Will Schank and Leonard Will on Instagram and Facebook, according to the criminal complaint.
Helker told investigators that he took pictures of children and then cropped them or zoomed the focus on the children’s buttocks, saying he “Photoshopped” the images. He also admitted to editing children’s heads onto adult porn.
Helker has been charged with six counts of child pornography possession. If convicted, he faces up to seven years in prison and $10,000 in fines on three of the charges and up to five years in prison and $10,000 in fines on the other three charges. Cont.
