A former pastor of a Montgomery County church is behind bars after he was charged with child abuse and child pornography.
Jerry
Zweitzig was arrested in December after detectives were alerted by a
tipster. Police searched through his home in Hatboro, Pennsylvania,
where they found hundreds of images on a computer depicting a child
engaging in sex acts, investigators said. The victim had been assaulted
while sleeping and there was evidence of sexual abuse, according to
court documents.
Zweitzig is
charged with 200 counts of possessing child pornography as well as
multiple counts of indecent assault. Investigators believe Zweitzig
committed the crimes in both Montgomery and Lancaster counties and that
his abuse began more than 10 years ago.
