Father Jeffrey Nowak, a priest in New York, faces a federal charge of possession of child pornography that carries a sentence of up to 20 years in prison, according to the U.S. attorney's office. Nowak had been on administrative leave for nearly six years over earlier allegations of inappropriate conduct with minors.
Earlier reports accused him of "inappropriate contact with children." Those allegations led authorities to investigate his conduct further, and the federal charge followed.
