Online 'pastor' jailed in child porn bust

TAMPA - A man who claimed to be a minister and a youth counselor is one of two men under arrest, charged with possessing and trying to distribute child pornography.

Police arrested 43-year-old Eric Spandorf and 54-year-old Robert Paul Primavera.

Spandorf is listed on a website that says he is an "associate pastor" and "youth crisis counselor" of a "biblical-based online ministry."

The address listed on the site, 1302 East Columbus, is the same as the address listed for both men on their Hillsborough County arrest inquires.

No one there responded to multiple phone calls and e-mails from FOX 13.

Detectives say they arrested Primavera in January after he tried to sell an undercover officer child porn. Spandorf was arrested yesterday after a two-month investigation.

Detectives say the two were downloading child porn from the internet to make money.

FOX 13's Warren Elly will have more on this story at 5 & 6.
