The Rev. Felix David Broussard, accused 10 months ago in a child pornography case in Breaux Bridge, is expected to enter a guilty plea Tuesday, a spokeswoman for the Diocese of Lafayette said.
Broussard, an Acadia Parish native and diocesan parish priest for more than 20 years, was accused last July after the Louisiana State Police Special Victims Unit said they found more than 500 images of child pornography on his personal computer, which was kept at the residence of St. Bernard Roman Catholic Church in Breaux Bridge. State Police joined the investigation at the request of the St. Martin Sheriff’s Office.
Broussard had served as pastor at St. Bernard and chancellor of the parish school for two years at the time of his arrest. Investigators said he had been seeking pornographic images of children on his computer for most of that time.
