BERLIN – A popular priest already facing charges he initiated lurid conversations with a 13-year-old boy was arrested again this month for possessing child pornography.
Michael Miller, a Franciscan Friar relieved of his duties at St. Paul’s Church last year was charged with 10 counts of risk of injury to a child, two counts of obscenity and third-degree possession of child pornography June 14. He will be arraigned in New Britain Superior Court on the new charges July 9.
The arrest likely stems from the seizure of Miller’s computers when he was charged in July 2011 with five counts of risk of injury to a child and attempted obscenity. It is unclear if the new charges involve contact with the same 13-year-old.
