	Court Documents: More Child Porn Belonging to Priest Fox 4 July 6, 2011 http://www.fox4kc.com/news/wdaf-police-believe-they-found-more-child-porn-belonging-to-priest-20110706,0,1437754.story [with video] Father Shawn Ratigan has already been charged with possession of child pornography in Clay County, Mo. Now he could face more charges in Jackson County. Court documents in Jackson County show on June 16, police were issued a search warrant and conducted a search of a residence in Independence, Mo. where Ratigan was staying as a guest. The search was issued after a tip, which suggested there were more inappropriate pictures on the computer inside the home where Ratigan had visited. The documents show police found pictures including one picture of a girl with an angle that exposes her underpants. Ratigan was arrested in May for posession of child pornography. Bishop Robert Finn of the Kansas City-St Joseph Diocese has apologized for mishandling the case. The diocese found out about the original pictures in December but did not turn them over to police until May.
