HARTFORD — A Catholic priest will spend five years in prison after he admitted in Superior Court Thursday that he had child pornography on his computer and chatted about sex on the Internet with underage boys.

The Rev. Michael Miller, 43, of Berlin, pleaded guilty in May to possession of child pornography, obscenity and three counts of risk of injury to a minor before Judge Hillary Strackbein.

He was sentenced Thursday to a prison term of 20 years, suspended after five, followed by 20 years of probation. He also must register as a sex offender.
