“He went into that church professing to be a man of God, but he’s really nothing more than a liar and s**ual predator,” Manatee County Sheriff Rick Wells said during a press conference.
Elwing allegedly used cryptocurrency to purchase disturbing material on the internet.
The purchase allowed authorities to obtain a search warrant where they found more disturbing images on his cell phone including images of him “in the act” with a child.
Authorities also found 10 “covert” cameras at his home and work which they worry he used to secretly film.
“I can’t stress this enough: This is a monster. This is a man who went to great lengths to hide his true identity, to use whatever resources he could to feed this deviant behavior that he has,” Wells said.
Capital Punishment. Now.
