A former long-time music director at Christ Church Greenwich, Robert F. Tate, 70, has been released from the federal prison term he was serving following a 2008 child pornography conviction and has moved to a New Canaan apartment.

At his sentencing hearing in 2008, Tate, admitted to a 40-year history of sexual abuse of minors overseas as well as viewing hundreds of sexually-explicit photos of children dating back to the 1960s. Tate was not charged criminally for those acts, but did acknowledge having sex with boys in Thailand, the Philippines and Costa Rica.

According to the state Sex Offender’s Registry, Tate is living at 279 Elm St., Apartment 2, following his release from federal prison last week.

Attempts to reach Tate for comment Tuesday were unsuccessful.
