ALBUQUERQUE (KRQE) – A former church organist linked to massive amounts of child porn told the judge it won’t happen again just moments before he found out he’ll spend nearly eight years in prison.

Patrick Railsback, 62, stood next to his attorney in a jail issued jumpsuit as a federal judge handed down his 90-month-sentence.

Railsback music once filled Santa Fe’s Saint Francis Cathedral. On Thursday, the former church organist listened to the tune of a sentence that will lock him up in prison until he’s 70-years-old.

In 2008, State Police investigators served a search warrant at Railsback’s home where massive amounts of child porn were found.
