WATCH AT 10:30: Police briefing on priest charged in child porn case
A monsignor at St. Ann Catholic Church in Emmaus is charged with child pornography and related offenses, according to court records.
The Rev. John Stephen Mraz, 66, was in the hospital on Tuesday morning, said a person who answered the phone at the church at 415 S. Sixth St. Mraz was pastor at the church.
At 10:30 a.m., Lehigh County District Attorney Jim Martin is expected to announce the results of a sexual abuse investigation involving a member of the Roman Catholic clergy and child pornography, his spokesman said.
The woman at the church said she didn’t know about charges against Mraz. She said he has health problems.
Mraz has worked at Reading Central Catholic and Allentown Central Catholic over the years and has held posts in the Allentown Diocese.
