Former pastor of St. Margaret Mary Parish Stephen Pohl has been sentenced to 33 months in federal prison for viewing child pornography.
U. S. District Court Judge David Hale sentenced Pohl, 57, at a sentencing hearing Tuesday afternoon.
Pohl, a first-time offender, poses a low risk for repeating his crime and is undergoing sex offender treatment, said his attorneys Ted Shouse, Annie O’Connell and John H. Harralson in a court filing last week.
In January 2016, the Roman Catholic priest admitted to accessing the pornographic images of nude underage boys on computers at the church rectory and office between January and August 2015.
