A New Jersey priest who kept a Wayne County apartment he called his “day off place” pleaded guilty Friday to downloading child pornography there.

The Rev. Kevin A. Gugliotta, 55, of Mahwah, New Jersey, pleaded guilty to dissemination of photos/film of child sex acts, a felony, Wayne County District Attorney Janine Edwards announced Friday.

He faces a maximum of seven years in prison. Sentencing is scheduled for June 8. The priest remains locked up in the Wayne County Correctional Facility.

Law enforcement officers arrested the priest in October. He downloaded child pornography, then uploaded files on 20 separate occasions to the website chatstep.com in the summer of 2016 from his apartment at 108 Third St., Gouldsboro, in Lehigh Twp., Edwards said.
