Former pastor in Ala. gets 20 years for child porn

PRATTVILLE, Ala. (AP) — A judge has sentenced the former pastor of a Prattville church to 20 years in prison stemming from a child pornography charge.

The Montgomery Advertiser ( ) reports that 63-year-old Clyde David Myers was sentenced Wednesday by Judge John Bush, who did not place Myers on probation.

Myers pleaded guilty in April to two counts of possession of obscene matter depicting a person under 17 years old. Court records say the images were on two computers — one kept at his home and the other at the church office.

Myers, who was the minister at Prattville Community Church, was arrested in September 2011.

Myers was indicted by the Autauga County grand jury on five counts, including four counts of possession of child pornography and one count of manufacture of child pornography.
