Investigators believe LDS bishop arrested for child porn may have abused children | KUTV

A Utah bishop for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was arrested after he was reported for distributing child pornography and told investigators he took pictures of children while on camping trips in his role as a Church leader.

Timothy Jame Hallows, 61, of Kaysville, Utah, is held without bail in Davis County after his arrest for eight counts that were amended to sexual exploitation of a minor. Probable cause documents state that he spoke with investigators after a tip led them to his IP address. In the documents, law enforcement asked for high bail or no bail because they believe Hallows could be a threat to the community, partly because of his position of trust as a bishop — the leader of a congregation, who typically meets alone with children.

A law enforcement official said additional charges are anticipated. Hallows was removed as bishop of his Kaysville ward.
