Oakdale youth pastor caught with child porn, police say

Ceres police have found child porn in the home of a local youth pastor.

Tyler Bliss, 27, was arrested early last week after authorities on Monday seized computers from his home on Hudson Avenue and at Bethel Church in Oakdale where he works. A tip from the public prompted the investigation, said police. Officers are still trying to determine where the images came from. Reports said children under 13-years-old were depicted in images found on the computers. He was arrested in a traffic stop Monday, February 17.

Bliss bailed out of jail shortly after he was arrested, and awaits formal charges by the district attorney’s office, according to reports.
