Former Christ Church deacon sentenced for child porn charge

A U.S. District Court judge sentenced a former Christ Church deacon to two years in prison for possession of child pornography Monday.

Alex Lloyd was indicted in April and pleaded guilty to the charge in August. In addition to his sentence, Lloyd was also ordered to pay $5,000 in restitution by Judge B. Lynn Winmill.

According to court documents, Lloyd will be placed on supervised release for 20 years after his release from prison.

In January 2022, police searched Lloyd’s residence and he admitted to possessing child pornography on his iPhone. He also admitted to trading the pornography in messaging groups.
