Syracuse, NY — A retired Syracuse priest pleaded guilty to possessing child pornography today in a deal that spared him prison time.
Robert Ours, 65, admitted to six counts of possessing a sexual performance by a child in a deal with County Court Judge Joseph Fahey.
The judge promised to sentence Ours to 10 years of probation. Ours will also become a registered sex offender.
Senior Assistant District Attorney Jeremy Cali said he wanted Ours to spend 1 to 3 years in prison.
But by pleading guilty to all six counts, Ours avoided dealing with the DA’s office and worked out the deal with Fahey directly.
