Police charge youth minister with Internet crime

DANVILLE, Ky. - Kentucky State Police say they have charged a central Kentucky youth minister after he allegedly sent sexual text messages and emails to a 15-year-old girl.

Police say 29-year-old Jonathan David Hall of Danville is charged with unlawful use of electronics to induce a minor to engage in sexual activity. The arrest Tuesday came after the girl's mother found inappropriate messages on her daughter's phone.

Police say Hall used the alias Zachary Blight Carter when communicating with the girl, whom he came into contact with through his employment at Southland Christian Church in Danville. Police say they are looking for other possible victims after finding what appear to be nude photos of more juvenile girls during a search of Hall's home.

Jail records don't indicate whether Hall has an attorney.
