Ex-pastor of St. Margaret Mary Parish Stephen Pohl now faces federal charges of accessing child pornography.
Pohl, 57, was charged Monday and is due to appear for arraignment before U.S. Magistrate Judge Anthony Porcelli, at 2:00 p.m., in U.S. District Court in Tampa, Florida.
According to a criminal complaint, Pohl accessed child pornography in 2015 on a laptop and desktop computer in the office and rectory of St. Margaret Mary Parish, 7813 Shelbyville Road.
Those images were of naked young boys ranging in age from infancy to mid-teens, according to the complaint.
The images were never downloaded to the computer, the complaint notes, but were viewed online by Pohl and detected through forensic analysis of the computer hard drives.
More than 150 photos depicting students at St. Margaret Mary were also found, though none of those photos constitute child porn, the complaint states.
