Davenport - A Davenport priest who served time for downloading child pornography on a church-owned laptop computer is in more legal trouble.
Police arrested Reverend Richard Poster saying he violated his parole by having contact with children. Poster pleaded guilty to the child porn charges in 2003 and served a year in prison. When he was released, he was hired by the Davenport Diocese and worked as a janitor until May 2005.
Federal prosecutors say Poster made contact with children at a Davenport bookstore, on a bike path and in Buffalo, Iowa where he lived with his parents.

In 2004, the Diocese sent a request to the Vatican to defrock Poster, but a decision hasn't been made.
