Charges were filed Monday against a Kaysville man who is accused of owning and distributing thousands of images of child pornography — and who investigators say they believe may have sexually abused children on camping trips in his role as a bishop for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
The Davis County attorney’s office filed eight counts of sexual exploitation of a minor against Timothy James Hallows, 61. Each count is a second-degree felony, with a possible sentence of one to 15 years in prison.
Hallows was arrested Wednesday evening, and booked into the Davis County jail — where he remained Monday, jail records show.
