PITTSBURGH (AP) – A western Pennsylvania Catholic priest who was removed from public ministry in 2009 after an allegation of past child sex abuse deemed “credible” by his bishop has now been indicted by a federal grand jury on a charge of possessing child pornography.
The indictment announced Monday by federal prosecutors in Pittsburgh doesn’t specify how much pornography the Rev. David Dzermejko (jer-MAY’-koh) allegedly had on his computers in January. The 64-year-old priest now lives in Braddock, but was pastor of Mary, Mother of the Church parish in Charleroi when he was removed four years ago.
