Worship Leader Chad Robison Arrested After Hundreds of Photos, Videos of Child Porn Found on Computer

Worship leader Chad Robison has been arrested on several sex charges including video voyeurism and lewd and lascivious exhibition. Robison was the worship director of Seven Rivers Presbyterian Church.

A co-worker discovered inappropriate videos on Robison's laptop that he had left at work. This led to a police report. The Internet Crimes Against Children Central Florida Task Force, a detective with our High Tech Crimes unit began to scour through Robison's laptop which contained thousands of videos and pictures. Since May, detectives have been sorting through more than 3,000 videos and over 350,000 pictures that were found on Robison's laptop. Hundreds of items featured young girls performing virtual sex acts with Robison. Robison also filmed young girls who visited his home while they were using his restroom without their knowledge.

Subsequently, Robison was fired from his church, "On Thursday, May 11, we received allegations about material found on the personal computer of our music director, Chad Robison. Prior to May 11 we had no knowledge or suspicion of improper conduct by Mr. Robison. We investigated these allegations and dismissed Mr. Robison from employment at Seven Rivers Presbyterian Church on Monday, May 15 and banned him from our campus," the church said in a statement.

"I commend the detectives that have been working on this case," says Sheriff Prendergast. "We've just scratched the surface and already we know there are several victims out there. I'm so proud of this unit and what they've done to bring charges against this very sick man."
