DETROIT (AP) — A Catholic priest charged with secretly recording high school hockey players in the locker room is returning to Detroit federal court for a likely guilty plea.

The Rev. Richard Kurtz is charged with producing, possessing and transporting child pornography. He was a teacher years ago at University of Detroit Jesuit High School. The government says he went into the locker room and secretly recorded video of hockey players as they changed clothes in the late 1990s.

Kurtz is returning to court on Wednesday for a change-of-plea hearing.
