ORLANDO - A child-pornography investigation in central Florida has led to the indictment of a former missionary
who authorities say had more than 6,000 pictures and 250 video clips on his computer of children engaged in sex.

Investigators say that the eight-month investigation resulted in the arrest last week of 36-year-old Joel Price of Deltona. Price has resigned his job with the Sanford-based New Tribes Mission.

The investigation revealed that Price downloaded the images but did not take the pictures or have sexual contact with any children.

A spokeswoman for New Tribes Mission said Price resigned from his position as a youth pastor earlier this year, possibly because of the investigation. He did not immediately have an attorney.
