New voyeurism and child porn charges are being laid against a former Manitoba pastor.

The 35-year-old man from Gretna, Man., was arrested by Carman RCMP this week and faces five counts of voyeurism as well as accessing and possessing child pornography.

He was originally arrested last year for similar charges.

That investigation goes back to the summer of 2012 when two girls came across a cell phone in a washroom at Moose Lake Provincial Park and found pictures of themselves on it.

They waited until December 2013 to tell the RCMP about it, and in May of last year a suspect was arrested and eventually released on a promise to appear.

Police say the suspect used his role as a pastor in Gretna to target victims, but he is no longer with the church.
