Description
Two youth leaders in Hillsborough County were arrested for inappropriate contact or communication with minors in two separate cases, the sheriff's office reports.
Deputies say David Robinson, a 34-year-old youth pastor at Shiloh Baptist Church in Plant City, sent several text messages with sexual content to at least two juveniles between January and June 2023.
In addition to his role as a youth pastor, Robinson volunteered at various Christian schools in east Hillsborough County. He is facing nine counts of transmission of harmful material to a minor.
“I'm disappointed and disgusted that a youth leader in our community preyed on these young teens, using his position of trust to communicate in ways that are not fitting of any adult, let alone a man of God," Sheriff Chad Chronister said in a statement. "He disgraced the name of the church where he served and is challenging the faith of its parishioners due to his actions.”
