KALISPELL, Mont. — Rudy Bullman, a longtime priest at the Risen Christ Catholic Church in Kalispell, has been accused of sexual abuse of children. Prosecutors charged Bullman with the felony after investigators said they found child porn on his computer.

The investigation started in October, when a woman purchased a gaming system from Bullman and reported it held pictures of naked young boys.

“There were some images on there that disturbed the person, so that started our investigation,” said Flathead Sheriff Chuck Curry.

Bullman allegedly told investigators that he used the system to view gay porn, but that he only accessed sites which represented the boys were over eighteen. Court documents say investigators found child pornography on his computer. After being charged, Bullman was released on his own recognizance.
