LOUISVILLE, Ky. —Former St. Margaret Mary priest Stephen Pohl is back in Louisville.
Pohl will be in court at 2:30 p.m. Wednesday to answer to a charge of knowingly accessing with intent to view material that contained an image of child pornography that had been transported using any means or facility of interstate commerce and foreign commerce by any means including by computer.
Pohl was arrested last month in Pinellas County, Florida. He resigned from his position at St. Margaret Mary a day before his arrest.
Investigators said they found more than 150 pictures of children from St. Margaret Mary School on Pohl’s electronic devices. Detectives said several of the pictures of students were inappropriate.
An examination of the hard drives from Pohl’s office and home computers showed the presence of child pornography. The images were not downloaded, but rather appeared in the cache, indicating that he had accessed and viewed materials but did not download or purposely store them.
