SAN ANTONIO (AP) — A former Bible study instructor for children at a South Texas church has been sentenced to 20 years in federal prison for distributing child pornography online.

Jacob Robert Holguin was sentenced Friday in San Antonio.

Prosecutors say the 42-year-old Holguin in June 2013 pleaded guilty to the distribution charge.

An undercover officer who was operating online helped track shared child pornography that led to Holguin. Federal agents raided Holguin’s home in November 2012 and recovered nearly 3,000 images and videos of child pornography on computer equipment.

Court documents indicate Holguin taught a Bible study class to children at Calvary Chapel of San Antonio in Universal City. Investigators do not believe Holguin molested any of those children.
