Florida church youth pastor arrested 3rd time for video voyeurism


PENSACOLA — A Florida Panhandle church youth director who was already facing video voyeurism charges after a hidden camera was found in a bathroom has been arrested again, officials said.

David Nims, 37, remained in the Escambia County Jail on Tuesday following his arrest Friday on eight more video voyeurism charges, the Pensacola News Journal reported.


It was the third arrest on similar charges in less than two months for the youth director at Calvary Baptist Church in Pensacola. The videos showed people using the restroom at the church, officials said.

David Patrick Nims, who served as a volunteer director of youth ministries at a Pensacola church, was arrested after investigators say he installed a hidden camera in a church bathroom.

Escambia County Sheriff’s investigators arrested Nims again on June 11 after they found more than 100 images of child pornography while executing a search warrant at his home, records show.

Pick a place with kids. Pick a place that's underfunded, and dependent on low wage or volunteer staffing, which practically guarantees little oversight or cross-observation. A veneer of religion is helpful because the predator can threaten his victims with divine punishment if they tell anyone, not that personal threats aren't effective enough. Fully funded child care centers and schools with well-paid staff and supervisor redundancies built in would go a long way to solving this threat, but we as a country can't quite see our way clear to spending tax dollars on that. We need the F-35 fighter jet so much more, and how would billionaires be able to make vanity flights to the edge of space if we taxed them?

Priorities. We have 'em, and we're not changing 'em.
