Priest admitted he had developed a ‘morbid’ desire
A Vatican court has sentenced priest Carlo Alberto Capella to five years in jail for possessing child pornography while he was based in Washington, D.C. as a diplomat.
During his two-day trial, Capella admitted he had developed a ‘morbid’ desire after he arrived in the United States in 2016.
The US State Department says it alerted the Vatican, in August 2017, that a member of their embassy in Washington was possibly breaking child pornography laws.
