A Lousiville Roman Catholic priest accused of viewing child pornography pleaded guilty Monday to a single felony count of accessing child porn.

Stephen Pohl, 57, a former pastor at St. Margaret Mary Catholic Church, originally entered a not guilty plea after he was arrested in August 2015. He changed his plea Monday afternoon in U.S. District Court.

Under the terms of a plea agreement, Pohl would serve 33 months in federal prison, followed by supervision by U.S. Probation and Pretrial Services for the rest of his life.

The case had been set for a Jan. 12 trial.
