A former volunteer associate pastor at a Granbury church and chaplain at a nursing home pleaded guilty Monday to secretly taking photos of people undressing at several locations and to possessing child pornography.
Hidden cameras were found at a nursing home, his home and his former church, all in Granbury, authorities said.
Photos were taken during weddings, baptismal events and on a Colorado ski trip, authorities said.
Matthew Porter, 34, of Granbury, entered his plea on eight counts of improper photography or visual recording and seven counts of possession of child pornography.
Jury selection in his trial had been scheduled to start Monday.
"We had at least 10 victims ready to testify," said Hood County District Attorney Rob Christian.
