STUDY ON PORNOGRAPHY HISTORY AND USE FACTORS

Florida Churches Track Porn

December 30, 2008:

A 36-year-old former youth pastor, Joel Price, has been arrested on charges of child pornography after authorities found more than 6,000 pornographic images and videos on his Florida home computer.

Price was the youth pastor at New Tribes Mission in Sanford, Fla. He lived directly across the street from a church. His involvement with youth at the congregation is in question, as representatives say he only worked as in a missionary maintenance role with tribes in Venezuela. However, a local TV station reported that he had contact with the church’s children.

Churches in Volusia County, Fla., as well as across the country, are beefing up security and screening for volunteers amid recent arrest of staffers and volunteers who have been involved with child pornography.

The recent arrest of Joel Price, a 36-year-old former youth pastor, has brought the issue back to the forefront. Pastors and church leaders have shared some of their screening and prevention strategies:

•Requiring prospective volunteers to have attended church for at least six months
•Requiring employees and volunteers to fill out applications, be interviewed, be questioned about sexual history, and submit to background checks
•Never allowing adult workers to have prolonged one-on-one contact with small children
•Having ushers or paid security monitor hallways and empty rooms during events
