A 39-year-old Roman Catholic priest assigned to a South Boston parish was arrested by Boston police yesterday for allegedly having pornographic images of children on his computer.
Reverend Andrew J. Urbaniak was arrested Tuesday at 3:45 p.m. on charges of possession and dissemination of child pornography, according to Boston police spokeswoman Cheryl Fiandaca.
Urbaniak is a priest at Our Lady of Czestochowa Church in South Boston, police said. He has been assigned to the parish for the last four years to serve the neighborhood’s Polish community, police said.
In a statement, police said that no one has contacted them to report they were personally vicitmized by Urbaniak. The investigation is ongoing.
He was arrested following a two-month investigation by the Boston police Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force and the State Police Crimes Against Children Unit.
