WAUKESHA — A former Lutheran church official, accused of having child pornography, is close to a plea deal. Joel Hochmuth was in Waukesha County court Thursday, March 8th.
A plea deal is in place, but Hochmuth’s attorney said they needed more time to review it. A plea hearing is now set for Friday morning, March 9th.
Prosecutors say Hochmuth had pictures and videos of young boys in sex acts. He was fired from his post at the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod, where he served as Director of Communications.
