An Adelaide Jesuit priest and teacher found with more than 1,500 pornographic images of boys has been jailed for more than two years.

Stanislaus Hogan, 70, was found with books, magazines and videos of young and teenage boys, in his private quarters at Saint Ignatius’ College in Adelaide’s eastern suburbs in August 2013.

He was on the college staff at the time of his arrest.

Hogan told the Adelaide District Court he used some of the books and videos as a way to help understand both paedophiles and himself.

Judge Peter Brebner told Hogan the production of child pornography meant children were sexually exploited and his actions had helped create a market for such material.
