Moscow Christ Church deacon to plead guilty to child pornography charge

Christ Church deacon Alex Lloyd has agreed to enter a guilty plea in federal court for possession of child pornography.

His change of plea hearing is scheduled for Aug. 25.

On Jan. 11, police searched Lloyd’s residence and he admitted to possessing child pornography on his iPhone. He also admitted to trading pornography in messaging groups.

He was indicted in federal court April 19. He could face 20 years in prison and a fine up to $250,000, along with restitution to the victims. He will also be required to register as a sex offender.

Five days before Lloyd was indicted, on April 14, his name and photo were removed from Christ Church’s leadership webpage.
