Troy youth church volunteer arrested on child porn charges

TROY, Ala (WDHN) — A local youth group volunteer from Troy was arrested last month on child pornography charges.

Pike County District Attorney James Tarbox says Samuel Andrew McCall was arrested on Wednesday, January 29, and charged with one count of Possession of Child Pornography with Intent to Disseminate.

McCall was arrested by state agents after an investigation with the Internet Crimes Against Children task force.

Tarbox says agents are going through electronic devices seized during a search and additional charges are expected.

The DA tells WDHN that at the time of McCall’s arrest, he was a volunteer in a local church youth group, but it is not believed that there are any local victims of the child pornography.

“However, the District Attorney’s Office recommends anyone who believes they or their child may have been victimized by McCall to contact their local law enforcement agency,” said DA Tarbox.

McCall was released from the Pike County Jail on Monday, January 3, on a $25,000 bond.
