THE WOODLANDS, Texas — A church pastor from The Woodlands is in jail on child porn charges but details of his alleged crime haven't been released.
Bruce Hollen, 63, is charged with possession with intent to promote child porn.
The pastor was arrested on Wednesday during an Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force investigation, the Montgomery County Precinct 3 Constable’s Office said.
Hollen was in court Friday afternoon and his bond was set at $30,000.
Under Texas law, promotion of child porn means to knowingly or intentionally possess material that visually depicts a child younger than 18 years of age at the time the image was created and depicts the child engaging in sexual conduct.
On Friday, Hollen was still featured prominently on the Calvary Chapel - The Woodlands Facebook page but he's no longer listed on the church’s official website.
The congregation meets on Sundays in a local school. We weren't able to reach anyone affiliated with the church for comment.
