It's almost like Pastors don't understand technology. When the Reverend David Walter sent sexual and intimate text messages to a 16-year-old girl in his parish, did he expect God would erase the evidence? He might as well have painted it in letter 10 feet high on the side of his church.
Mr Waters made a full confession, admitting that on various occasions before May 2007 he sent sexual messages to her - behaviour which he later accepted was ' scandalous and offensive'.
He was suspended from his position as rector of St Catwg's Church in Gelligaer, South Wales, in June 2007, but as the girl, understood to be a regular member of his congregation, was 16 at the time, police did not investigate.
I have a hard time with sending people to prison for sexting. Ending a career is enough punishment.
