Florida:

Youth pastor Matthew C. Porter, 30, of Ellenton was charged this month with nine counts of video voyeurism, a misdemeanor punishable by up to a year in jail. He is accused of videotaping students ages 12 to 16 over a two-year period at a home in Ellenton and at an apartment in Bradenton.

Prosecutors and detectives reviewed the tapes and conducted interviews.

They say Porter confessed, saying he made the tapes for his sexual gratification. Porter resigned from the church in July. He will plead not guilty to the charges, his attorney said. Authorities say Porter taped the children undressing in a bathroom and in a bedroom.
