Jesuit priest admits to child pornography offences

A Jesuit priest and teacher at Saint Ignatius' College in Adelaide has admitted to child pornography offences.

Father Stan Hogan, 69, has pleaded guilty to accessing child pornography and an aggravated count of possessing child pornography.

The offences happened between April-June 2012 and last August at suburban Athelstone.

Hogan was suspended from the college after his arrest last August.

A publication by the Catholic Archdiocese of Adelaide said Hogan was ordained in 1976 and also taught at schools in Victoria and New South Wales.

He is to be sentenced in the Adelaide District Court, where there will be a further hearing next month.

The Jesuits have issued a statement saying Hogan acted alone and has had no contact with the college since the time he was arrested.
