A Diocese of Scranton priest accused of possessing computer files depicting naked underage boys waived his preliminary hearing Wednesday.

The Rev. Robert Timchak, 43, most recently of Milford, is charged with 17 counts of possessing child pornography, criminal use of a communication facility and tampering with physical evidence. The charges were bound over to Pike County Court on Wednesday.

Timchak, who previously served at Roman Catholic churches in the Hazleton area, remains free on his own recognizance.
