BOSTON (Reuters) – A South Boston priest has been arrested and is scheduled to be arraigned on Wednesday, charged with possession and dissemination of child pornography that involved using a computer in his parish’s rectory.

Andrew J. Urbaniak, a 39-year-old priest at Our Lady of Czestochowa, a Polish church in the Archdiocese of Boston, was arrested and charged on Tuesday afternoon.

After obtaining a search warrant, detectives seized Urbaniak’s computer, where pornographic images of girls between the ages of 8 and 10 were found, the Boston Police Department said in a statement.
