Texas youth leader arrested for soliciting explicit images from minors

A youth leader at Beltway Park Church in Abilene, Texas, has been arrested for allegedly soliciting explicit images from girls aged 14 and 15. Charles Goff, 24, reportedly admitted to police that he used social media for this purpose. Goff had passed two background checks before starting his volunteer work at the church, which serves nearly 5,000 attendees weekly. Police found three explicit videos on his phone, leading to felony charges of possessing child sexual abuse images. The church's pastor stated they were informed of Goff's actions in June 2024 and immediately reported it to authorities. The church is cooperating with the investigation and has no evidence that any minors from their congregation were involved.
