A former Navy chaplain and Catholic priest, who pleaded guilty years ago to sexually assaulting a U.S. Navy Academy midshipman, has pleaded guilty to production and distribution of child pornography.
John Thomas Matthew Lee, 50, of Millsboro, entered the plea in U.S. District Court in Delaware on Monday morning.
Lee admitted to U.S. District Judge Leonard P. Stark that he communicated with young boys on the Internet, and in one instance, took pornographic photos of a minor and distributed the images.
Lee is facing 15 to 30 years in federal prison on the production charge and five to 20 years on the distribution charge.
