A Southwest Side priest who was charged with possessing child pornography last year has been arrested in Maryland.
Octavio Munoz, 40, was charged with one felony count of child pornography/photograph, according to Chicago Police.
He is the former director of Casa Jesus, a vocational program of the Chicago Archdiocese intended to reach out to the city’s Hispanic population.
An investigation found he was in possession of child pornography about 9 a.m. July 1, 2015, at his home in the 4000 block of South Sacramento, police said.
He was arrested Sept. 20 in Rockville, Maryland, and extradited to Chicago, police said.
Munoz appeared in court Wednesday afternoon in Chicago, where his bond was set at $50,000.
