YORK COUNTY, Pa. (WHP) — Pennsylvania State Police have charged an Alexandria, Virginia, pastor in connection with reports that he sent several illicit photos to a then-15-year-old York County boy.

Kenneth Baldwin has been charged with two counts of unlawful contact with a minor, corruption of minors, indecent exposure, and open lewdness after an investigation was launched in May 2026.

PSP said Baldwin went to the victim’s church in November 2024 to preach a sermon, and the two exchanged numbers afterwards.

Troopers said he started sending explicit images to the victim and was sending multiple images a week up until December 2025.

According to an affidavit, state police spoke with the teenager, who was 17 at the time, in May 2026. He told investigators that when he and Baldwin would chat, messages would revolve around masculinity.

Baldwin, who was employed with Crossroads Baptist Church at the time, would then insert “his male dominance” and show his “man hood,” troopers noted in the affidavit. He would also send messages claiming he had a big “Johnson.”

Charging documents show Baldwin eventually encouraged the victim to download WhatsApp so they could talk privately, initiating conversations like “is the coast clear” or “CC” before sending more illicit photographs.

On May 21, 2026, the police said Baldwin messaged the victim again and had sent him another image, which was seized by state police. Another message was sent on June 1, PSP noted in the affidavit.

After confessing to sending nude images of himself to a minor on June 9, troopers spoke with Baldwin at the York state police station.

Baldwin reportedly told state police he thought the victim was “probably 15” when they started speaking, and he was “absent-minded” because he acted so much older.

He admitted to sending “15” images to the teen, according to the affidavit.

In a news release, PSP said it has reason to believe Baldwin sent similar images to more minors. Anyone with information on this case or who else may be a victim is urged to contact PSP in York at 717-428-1011.

Crossroads Baptist Church said it has no comment when CBS 21 reached out.
