Father Robert Timchak Gets Six Years For Child Porn

Pennsylvania: A Diocese of Scranton priest will serve up to six years in state prison for having photos of naked, underage boys on his computer.

The Rev. Robert Timchak, 44, of Milford was sentenced to between six and 72 months imprisonment after pleading guilty in August to 17 felony counts of possessing child pornography.

State police began to investigate the Rev. Timchak in April 2009 after the diocese received an anonymous tip. Six months later, he was arrested and accused of trying to delete the pornographic photos from his computer.
