Summary of Case: Stephen A. Pohl was ordained a priest of the Archdiocese of Louisville KY in 1985. He assisted at parishes in Fern Creek, Bardstown and Louisville, and he served for a time as the Archdiocesan Vocations Director. Pohl also pastored parishes in Louisville, Bardstown and St. Thomas. In August 2015 a 10-year-old boy told his parents that Pohl had taken pictures of him and other boys, and that it made him “feel weird.” Federal investigators found child pornography on Pohl’s computer, and 200 photos of children from his parish, some of them “inappropriate.” Pohl was arrested in Florida and charged with accessing child pornography. He pled guilty in January 2016. Sentencing was scheduled for March 29, 2016.
