CLEVELAND, OH (WOIO) –

A Reverend was sentenced to prison on more than 80 counts of child porn.

Reverend Mark Griggs was sentenced to six years behind bars after pleading guilty last month.

The 48-year-old Reverend traded child porn over the Internet from his house and church between July 2008 and November 2010. He downloaded and saved images of sexually abused children to his computer that depicted children being anally, vaginally and digitally raped.

He was the Pastor of Saint Andrew’s Presbyterian Church in Olmsted Falls.

Griggs, along with 30 other defendants, were indicted during Operation Lake Effect, which was a 6 month investigation into child pornography, conducted by the Ohio Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force.
