ST. LOUIS (KSDK) – A St. Louis priest is due in court Friday on federal child pornography charges.

Investigators say Fr. William Vatterott was in possession of child porn between June 2010 and June 2011. He was pastor of St. Cecelia Parish in St. Louis when the allegations surfaced. Before that, he was an associate pastor at Holy Infant in Ballwin.

The Archdiocese of St. Louis cooperated with the investigation and placed Vatterott on administrative leave when the allegations surfaced.
