MO Baptist Pastor Arrested On Child Porn Charges

Kansas City’s CBS affiliate reports:

29-year-old Andrew Lovisone of Greenwood, Missouri, was arrested on Sept. 17, the Cass County Sheriff’s Office reported. A video on First Baptist Church Peculiar’s Facebook page shows Lovisone’s ordination service there back in July. He was called as an associate pastor. He is charged with two counts of first-degree promoting child pornography, which is a Class B Felony.

Kansas City’s NBC affiliate reports:

The detectives also served search warrants in Cass County and Jackson County. Lovisone told a detective he used applications to download and share child sexual materials, a court document states. He also told the detective he (the detective) would find child pornography on his cellphone. Lovisone also admitted to downloading and uploading child pornography at his home and at the church.

The tally we started in 2022 would be over 500 by now.
