A California community is reeling after hearing the news that a local pastor was allegedly caught trying to meet a person he thought was a minor for sex.
James David Stockton, 54, was arrested on Saturday by Signal Hill police after an online citizen group called "Caught Fished" said it had documented inappropriate messages with the pastor.
Stockton is the pastor at South Bay Church of God in Torrance. He ran for Congress as a Democrat in 2024, and before that he was a leader of the NAACP in Marion County.
The group provided some of the texts to KTTV-TV and said that Stockton knew the decoy was claiming to be 16 years old and in high school.
"What time you get out of school today?" read one text allegedly from Stockton.
"I promise to be gentle and make sure you are enjoying it," read another.
The founder of the citizen group, named Antoine, said it got very explicit at that point.
"He got into the nasty part that no pastor should be talking about," he told KTTV.
Stockton was defeated in his campaign by Rep. Randy Fine (R), who currently holds the office.
The church appears to have scrubbed a webpage indicating Stockton was their pastor, according to a KTTV-TV report.
"We don't know anything, other than what we see on the video," a member of the church said to KTTV. "But it was a shock to us, as everybody else."
The pastor was released on his own recognizance on Tuesday after pleading not guilty to a felony count of arranging to meet a minor for lewd purposes.
Stockton is due back in court on Dec. 12.

Sex offender with minors...DIM...NAACP leader. It all seems to fit.
Pastors, Boy Scout leaders, Priests, teachers were at one time, positions of honor and trust. Now apparently, it’s a pathway to perversion.
Well now he can run for congress again and easily win!!
Not to worry: Jake Tapper will announce he’s a white man. in 3...2...1...
It’s been that way for a long, long time. One of our local pastors was busted in the next county over trying to pick up a prostitute. It was not his first time…
His excuse? “I was trying to minister to her”. Uh huh. Suuuuure you were
with his Bible shaped penis?
Having sex with minors is career development for Dem Congressional candidates.
Pastor, NAACP leader, candidate.
He was gonna’ “lay hands on her” and/or greet her with a “holy kiss.”...all reported to be used in God’s word...
Professing Christian leaders(and believers) have to get their act together ..they cause people to blaspheme Christ by their disobedience.
Sicko piggy. Another Pedo Joe.
Looks like a fraud at all levels. Ran for office in Florida...ends up in California as a pastor, and NAACP leader. Checked of all the boxes for believability..but his body type gives him away. Clearly not eating for strength to accomplish his goals. Another closet sybarite.
“A California community is reeling”
Oh bull. The more perverted a degenerate democrat is the more the democrats love them.
Why am I NOT SURPRISED?? A Democrat Pastor is an OXYMORON...Church of Satan it should be called...
Translation: "I wanna bang you like a pile driver and I don't really care how you feel about it ..."
Extrapolate ...
He thought the person he was trying to arrange to have sex with and he didn't suspect it was a setup?
Fraud, for sure....with a capital eff.
