ST. LOUIS • A St. Louis priest was indicted Wednesday on one federal child pornography charge, the U.S. Attorney’s office said.

Prosecutors say Father William F. Vatterott, 36, possessed child pornography between June 2010 and June 2011. The indictment accuses Vatterott of having at least two images of child porn on his computer; both were images of an unidentified nude boy.

Vatterott is expected to appear in federal court late this week or early next week, they said.

If convicted, he could face up to 10 years in prison.
