LA CROSSE, Wis. (WSAU) - The web master for the Diocese of La Crosse is accused of possessing child pornography, but the investigation of the Reverend Patrick Umberger started much earlier.

He had lost his season pass to Noah's Ark Water Park when he was accused of following young boys into a bathroom last summer. An attorney for the church calls the report an "unsubstantiated allegation." The diocese placed no restrictions on the priest after it learned of the allegations.
In addition to losing his pass, he was also placed on a watch list at the water park. According to a state investigation, Umberger denied intentionally following the boys and was quoted as saying he has prostate problems which cause him to need to urinate often.
