ALLENTOWN, Pa. – An Emmaus monsignor was arraigned Tuesday morning on charges related to child pornography. John Mraz was charged with sexual abuse of children, criminal use of a communications facility and obscene and sexual material and performances.
Mraz was the pastor at St. Ann’s Church in Emmaus.
On July 25 he asked a friend and parishioner to update his laptop. According to court documents, the friend discovered files in the recycling bin depicting images of nude males of an unknown age. After completing the update, the friend returned it to Mraz, who asked him to update another laptop.
On this laptop the friend discovered a link file named “naked little boys”, or “something similar to that name,” according to court paperwork.
