LAS CRUCES, N.M. -- A former Baptist church deacon went to jail Friday for allegedly having child pornography.

Terry Dean Gibson, 55, of the 3400 block of Pinnacle View, was arrested by Las Cruces police after a two-year investigation discovered that he was allegedly secretly videotaping women and girls.

Detectives said that on March 2, 2006, a family member discovered sexually explicit videos of women and girls stored on Gibson's computer.

The family member made a copy of Gibson's hard drive and handed the copy over to an agent with the FBI, police said.

Authorities charged Gibson with nine felony counts of sexual exploitation of children.
