FREMONT, CA — A missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints who was stationed in the East Bay has been arrested by Mountain View Police following a months-long child pornography investigation. Hayden Hunter was arrested in Fremont Wednesday morning on suspicion of child pornography and suspicion of distribution of child pornography, Mountain View P.D. said in a written statement.

Hunter is from Pleasant Grove, Utah. An investigation began last September when MVPD detectives received a tip that someone in a private Facebook Messenger group chat was connected to suspected child pornography. Members possibly as young as 13-years-old were in the group.
