The Rev. Stephen Pohl, the former pastor at St. Margaret Mary, has been extradited from Florida and is due to appear in U.S. District Court at 2:30 p.m. Wednesday in Louisville, court records show.

Pohl was originally arrested in Florida last month and charged with a federal count of accessing child porn.

Investigators say Pohl viewed multiple pornographic online images of nude young boys ranging in age from infancy to mid-teens with their genitals exposed, according to a criminal complaint.

Pohl, 57, viewed those images on his laptop and desktop computer seized from the office and rectory of St. Margaret Mary Parish, said Detective Dan Jackman of the Louisville Metro Police Crimes Against Children Unit in a complaint affidavit.
