Overview

• Pastor Chris Gober asked authorities to examine a church-owned computer after Jon Paul Sheptock, 49, was charged with possessing and producing child sexual assault materials.
• Deputies arrested Sheptock on Friday at the Dr. Lane Murray Unit in Gatesville, where he was providing ministry services to inmates.
• Court records allege the conduct began nine years ago when the victim was 17, involving a stolen iCloud photo, requests for explicit images, and a violent video sent with a threatening implication.
• Detectives say a text shows he sent a nude photo of young girls to the alleged victim as recently as last October, and ABC13 reports the charge carries a potential sentence of two to 20 years in prison.
• First Montgomery Baptist Church removed Sheptock from all duties, says no identified victims are connected to the church or school, notes no other adults are under investigation, and reports he is out on bond as authorities seek additional information.
