Nairobi - Kenyan police has arrested an American preacher who faces charges of trafficking pornographic material, police said on Wednesday.
Thomas Manton IV, a self-styled prophet, was detained late on Tuesday following a complaint by a woman who said he posted pornographic pictures of her on a website.
"He will be charged for trafficking pornographic material and being in Kenya illegally," a police officer said on condition of anonymity.
The country's top police spokesperson, Eric Kiraithe, and the criminal investigation department chief, Festus Malinge, confirmed the preacher was in custody but refused to elaborate.
Thomas Manton IV used to hold weekly religious services in a central Nairobi hotel and describes himself on his website as "God's voice to the nations".
