FORMER St Joseph's College chaplain Edmund John Haines has pleaded guilty to 10 child sex and porn charges in court today.

Another 60 charges were dropped when Haines, who stood down as chaplain when the charges were laid in February, entered his plea in Geelong Magistrates Court.

He will be sentenced on six counts of an indecent act with a child under 16, as well as making and possessing child pornography charges.

Haines, who also acted as the Meredith parish priest, will face a trial in Melbourne County Court on August 20.
