A cyber tip from Instagram led investigators to uncover allegations against a Polk County pastor accused of using his position of trust to groom and sexually abuse a 14-year-old boy, authorities said. Timothy Chaneyfield, 42, was arrested after investigators with the Polk County Sheriff’s Office began looking into alleged inappropriate online activity between an adult and child. Officials say Chaneyfield, a pastor, hospice chaplain and former Polk County Schools employee, allegedly used online platforms to contact the teen before the relationship escalated.
