KENTUCKY
WLKY
LOUISVILLE, Ky. —The former pastor of St. Margaret Mary charged with child exploitation pleaded guilty at a change-of-plea hearing in federal court Monday.
Stephen Pohl resigned in August after allegations surfaced that he had accessed and viewed child pornography.
Pohl pleaded guilty to access with intent to view.
The judge will now decide whether or not to accept the plea.
As part of the plea agreement, prosecutors recommended two years and nine months in prison, lifetime supervised release and required registration as a sex offender and convicted felon.
