'Religious' man watched porn at churches

PAULS VALLEY, Okla., March 16 (UPI) -- Oklahoma police said a man accused of breaking into churches to watch porn told investigators he targeted the facilities because his family is "very religious."

Pauls Valley police said Nathanael Christian, 21, was charged with four counts of second-degree burglary for allegedly breaking into four churches on at least eight occasions to use the Internet connections at the facilities to view pornography, The Oklahoman reported Tuesday.

Investigators said Christian made $300 worth of calls to phone-sex lines during one break-in and stole laptop computers during two of the crimes.

Detective Derrick Jolley said police asked Christian why he targeted churches.

"(Christian) just said 'my family has always been very religious' with a look on his face that indicated it made sense to him," Jolley said.

Jolley said Christian, who is being held at the Garvin County jail, admitted to the break-ins and told police where to find the stolen laptops.
