LOUISVILLE (WHAS11) — Stephen Pohl, a former pastor at St. Margaret Mary church, pleaded guilty on Jan. 4 to one count of accessing child porn with the intent to view it.

The investigation into Pohl began because a child from St. Margaret Mary told his parents he felt weird about pictures Pohl had taken.

This change of plea has canceled the trial. It was originally scheduled for February.

He is accused of viewing explicit images in his office and living space at the parish.
