A computer software developer and “Media Ministry” member at a Mississippi Coast church faces federal charges for distributing and possessing child pornography, court papers say. Cameron “Cam” Cotrill, 66, of Vancleave, is jailed without bond pending trial in January.

Federal authorities allege he had accessed 9,900 sexually explicit images of children engaged in sex acts on his computer, court records say.

After his arrest, Cotrill’s attorney, James Farrior, unsuccessfully appealed to a judge to grant Cotrill bond pending trial.


.......................

In character letters sent to a judge before the bail hearing, family, friends and fellow parishioners described Cotrill as a man committed to his family, faith, and community and praised him for his “knowledge of God’s word.” A senior adult pastor who has known Cotrill since 2022 described him as a volunteer and member of the church’s “Media Ministry” who “consistently demonstrated conscientiousness to his ministry responsibilities here.”

His knowledge of Gods word was probably just used to portray the idea that he was a good guy.
