Pittsburgh - A suspended Pittsburgh-area priest will
serve more than eight years in prison for collecting thousands of images of
child pornography on his computer, books and compact discs.
The sentence the Reverend Bartley Sorensen received on Wednesday
was more than the five-year mandatory minimum he sought but less than the
10-year maximum he faced.
The 63-year-old Roman Catholic priest was arrested by
Allegheny County authorities in December 2011 after an employee at St John
Fisher Parish in Churchill noticed him looking at a photo of a pantsless young
boy on his computer.
Federal officials took over the investigation after a
computer search turned up thousands of child pornography images, some of them
sadomasochistic.
Sorensen pleaded guilty in May.
At his sentencing, he expressed remorse to everyone but
the young boys depicted in the pornography
