Joe David Barron, a minister of Prestonwood Baptist Church in Plano, TX, was arrested Friday after being accused of online solicitation of a minor.
Barron, 52, had been chatting online for about two weeks with a person that he thought to be a 13-year old juvenile. According to police reports, the conversations were very sexually explicit.
On Tuesday, Barron asked if the girl could meet him in person, police said. Two days later, Barron drove three hours to Bryan to meet the girl.
Undercover officers arrested Barron upon his arrival and police found a web-cam and headset as well as condoms.
Prestonwood Baptist Church has 26,000 members and 40 ministers. The head pastor is Dr. Jack Graham.
