Syracuse, NY — A plea deal may be in the works for a Catholic priest living in Syracuse accused of possessing child pornography.

County Court Judge Joseph Fahey indicated that the case may reach a disposition — in all likelihood a plea deal — at the next July 8 court appearance.

Robert Ours, 65, was charged with six counts of possessing a sexual performance by a child in an indictment unsealed May 21.

The Catholic Diocese of Syracuse reported the allegations of child porn to the Onondaga County District Attorney’s Office several months ago.
