MEDIA COURTHOUSE — A Parskide Sunday school teacher and youth basketball coach pleaded guilty Monday to one count each of possessing child pornography and criminal use of a communication facility, both felonies of the third degree.

Steven Daniel Almond, a deacon at the Middletown Presbyterian Church, turned himself over to authorities in June 2013 on two counts of disseminating photos or films of child sex acts, 25 counts of sexual abuse of children for possession of child pornography and 27 counts of criminal use of a communication facility.

Almond, 55, of the first block of West Forestview Road, posted 10 percent of $250,000 bail in July.

According to an affidavit of probable cause, Delaware County Detective Joseph Walsh, a member of the county’s Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force, identified a computer sharing suspected child pornography on a peer-to-peer file network on June 6, 2013.
