A former custodian and Sunday school teacher at a church in North Georgia has been arraigned on child porn charges.

Emmett Winston Smith, 66, worked at church in Newnan, Ga. He has been arraigned on federal charges of distributing, receiving, and possessing child pornography.

"Smith allegedly traded images and videos of child pornography with others, and went into Internet chat rooms looking to make contact with others who shared his same interests," said Acting U.S. Attorney John Horn. "This case, which began with a lead from the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, illustrates our strong partnership with international law enforcement to combat child pornography and to identify and prosecute those who trade images of the sexual abuse of children."
