LOUISVILLE (WHAS11) — A former pastor at St. Margaret Mary was sentenced to 33 months in prison on March 29.

In January, Stephen Pohl pleaded guilty to to one count of accessing child pornography with the intent to view. Pohl admitted to looking at explicit images on computers in his work and living areas at St. Margaret Mary.

Since the judge accepted a plea deal in this case Pohl will also have to register as a sex offender.

Police seized Pohl’s computer during an investigation that started after a student told his parents he felt “weird” about some photos that Pohl had taken.
