A former Corvallis priest pleaded guilty to child pornography charges and was sentenced to nearly four years in prison.

Stanley Brittain, 39, who also went by the name Father Isidore, pleaded guilty this week to four counts of first-degree encouraging child sex abuse.

Police raided a property on the 2400 block of Southeast Eighth Avenue in Albany in April. According to court documents, investigators tracked the sharing of explicit movies showing the sexual abuse of children to Brittain's phone and computer.

Court documents state Brittain was naked in his camper in front of his computer at the time of his arrest and said he had just injected methamphetamine.

Brittain told police he had started using meth two years ago and at the same time started collecting and trading child pornography on the internet, court documents state.

According to court documents, Brittain admitted having an extensive collection of child pornography on his computer that he would share online with other men. Police said most of the movies depict children from the age of infants to 12 years old.

Until a week before his arrest, police said Brittain had been associated with the St. Anne Orthodox Church in Corvallis.

After pleading guilty in court Tuesday, Brittain was sentenced to three years and nine months behind bars.
