Honestly, $3000 bail seems a bit low considering the charges here:


NASHUA, N.H. (CBS) – The New Hampshire pastor accused of accessing child pornography is now out of jail, but he is banned from using the Internet. Bates was released on bond and was also ordered to have no contact with minors.

Nashua, New Hampshire, police started investigating Pastor Stephen Bates in 2006 when the Bible Baptist Church IP address was used to access illegal and explicit images of children.

Nashua police arrested Stephen Bates, 46, on March 15. The Bible Baptist Church pastor is now facing five counts of possession of child sexual abuse material (CSAM) and was being held on $3,000 cash bail.

Another conservative Christian leader turns out to be a likely pedophile. Here is my surprised face.

Not only a disgusting human but also not the sharpest knife in the drawer.
3000 bucks is ridiculously low.

Another pastor, another source of "family values," ends up another worthless pedophile, all with an IQ around his shoe size for how he got caught.
