Police are reporting a former church pastor and teacher in Colorado Springs is being charged with sexual exploitation of a child.

Jonathan Shaheen, 30, was arrested on Thursday in the 5200 block of Stirrup Pt. The neighborhood is near Austin Bluffs Parkway and Templeton Gap Road. The arrest came a day after police had received information from the Colorado Springs FBI office that Shaheen was communicating with a couple in New Mexico who were exploiting children. A search warrant was executed resulting in the arrest.

Details on what church the suspect was a pastor at were not posted in the police blotter that announced the arrest. KKTV 11 News requested the arrest papers for Shaheen as we hope to have more on the investigation.
