A former Tremont pastor is being investigated for allegedly possessing child pornography, according to media reports.

The Rev. Wayne Buchanan, who resigned as pastor of Tremont Congregational Church in January, is under investigation for allegedly sharing images of child pornography online, the Bangor Daily News reports.

After the investigation began, Buchanan also resigned from his position at Grace Evangelical College and Seminary in Bangor.

A laptop, two iPads, four thumb drives and a memory card were seized during a search of Buchanan's on Jan. 6, according to documents filed in Hancock County Unified Criminal Court.

There are no court documents indicating that charges have been filed against Buchanan, the BDN says.
