EMMAUS, Pa. (AP) — A Roman Catholic priest in Pennsylvania has waived a preliminary hearing on child pornography charges.
His attorney says Monsignor John Stephen Mraz, of Bethlehem, gave up his right to a preliminary hearing because he committed the crime.
Attorney John Waldron tells The Allentown Morning Call (http://bit.ly/2f5r0uL ) that 66-year-old Mraz downloaded and he viewed pornographic computer files as alleged.
He says “the important thing” is he never tried to contact children.
Waldron says he expects the case to be resolved in a guilty plea and not go to trial.
