LOS BANOS, Calif. (KFSN) — Robert Gamel’s appearance in court was brief Friday, but during that time he pleaded not guilty after being found with child porn again.
“The allegations do include possession of illicit material again in that new complaint as well,” prosecuting attorney Travis Colby told the court.
Gamel was arrested back in April for violating his probation. He faces a charge of possession of child pornography with a prior conviction. He was a priest at St. Joseph’s Catholic Church in Los Banos.
Gamel was arrested for having images of an underage parishioner in 2014 and then sentenced for the crime last year in March. According to the report from the probation department, officers found a single large envelope with three images of a young male fully nude.
