WILLIAMSON COUNTY, Tenn. (WKRN) — A 50-year-old pastor has been arrested after he was indicted on six counts of sexual exploitation of a minor.

The Williamson County Sheriff’s Office reported its investigation began after receiving a tip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children about an upload of child sex abuse material from a church’s internet connection.

Daryl Hayes was identified as the lead pastor but the church was not identified in a release from WCSO. The church was fully cooperative and Hayes was terminated from his position immediately, according to the sheriff’s office.

Detectives believe there are no local child victims nor any additional concerns for the public.

The Williamson County Sheriff’s Office said investigators executed a search warrant at the church and Hayes’ residence and neither the Hayes family nor the church were aware of Hayes’ activities.
