When detectives interviewed Goff, he told them he would contact underage girls on social media and ask them for nude photos and videos. Investigators searched his phone and found three pornographic videos of underage girls.

He was taken into custody and charged with possession of child pornography. He was taken to Taylor County Jail, where he remains locked up on a $100,000 bond.

Beltway Park Church issued a statement saying there is no evidence that any members of the congregation were victimized by Goff.
