A Long Island priest was busted for hoarding child pornography and drugs in his parish residence, police said.

Cops found five vile videos of children on Christopher King’s computer while conducting a search warrant at St. James Episcopal Church of Long Beach at around 6 p.m. on Friday, officials said.

The kiddie porn shows kids — as young as two years old to 12-years-old — being subjected to sexually explicit acts, according to court documents.

Police also found a stash of about 40 Xanax prescription pills and 12 grams of crystal meth in the parish priest’s bedroom, documents show.

King, 51, was cuffed and charged with five counts of possessing a sexual performance by a child and two counts of seventh-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance, police said.
