LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) — Naked pictures of children as young as six years old have been discovered on the computer of a Louisville priest.

Disturbing new evidence against Stephen Pohl was uncovered in court today.

The federal court records were unsealed Monday against the former pastor of St. Margaret Mary Parish. They reveal both the nature of the pictures on Pohl’s computers, and how they were brought to light.

Court records graphically detail nude photos with kids appearing to be between the ages of six and 16 in the Internet records of the computers in Pohl’s office and rectory. Pohl is also accused of having more than 150 pictures of St. Margaret Mary students, but none of them are considered child pornography.

Instead, most are deemed child erotica.
