NEWARK, Ohio -- A local minister and his wife were accused of having nearly a dozen tapes of graphic child pornography.
The couple's son said he's absolutely shocked by the allegations, NBC 4's Elizabeth Scarborough reported.
David Waser Sr., 52, and his 54-year-old wife, Judy, have lived in their Newark home for five years, while serving as the minister at the Second Church of Christ next door.
The couple's 19-year-old son, Dave, returned from college to learn that his parents were being arrested for receiving and possessing child pornography.
"I didn't know what to think. I just started to break down and started to cry," he said.
Police said in June, Waser paid $130 for 11 hard-core child pornography videos on the Internet.
Officials said an undercover postal inspector followed the tapes to the home, and found one that was already in the VCR.
Dave Waser said he grew up listening to his father teach the Bible.
"He's just a really good person, sweet and honest. He's never done this before," he said.
In a federal hearing on Wednesday, the investigator testified that both Waser Sr. and his wife admitted to wanting to watch the tapes.
The investigator said Waser Sr. even admitted to fondling 10- to 12-year-old girls for the last 30 years, and as recently as a few weeks before his arrest.
Waser Sr. will be held in jail until the trial. Judy Waser will remain on house arrest.
If convicted, they could each face 30 years in prison.
