A 96-year-old retired priest who once ripped the Catholic Church over its pedophile scandal filled his computer with pornographic photos of under-aged girls, prosecutors charged Tuesday.
Monsignor Harry Byrne “had dozens of photographs on his computer of girls eight to 14-years-old performing sex acts with men or posing naked,” said Bronx District Attorney Darcel Clark.
Visitors to Byrne’s room at the St. John Vianney Center for Retired Priests in the Bronx saw the vile collection of photos, the prosecutor said.
The probe began five months ago based on complaints from the home, officials said.
