Gregory Lisby, the former kindergarten teacher and Worcester priest accused of child pornography possession, pleaded guilty to the charge in Boston’s federal court on Friday, according to the Worcester Telegram & Gazette.
Separately, Lisby has been accused of sexually abusing a teenager after he was ordained in 2007, the Telegram reports.
Lisby started as a kindergarten teacher last year at Morgan School in Holyoke. He was arrested in Northborough in September on the child pornography possession charge and resigned from the job, writing to the district that he had been “accused of an awful crime.” Prosecutors said he could face up to 20 years in prison, if convicted.
Libby was the rector of All Saints Episcopal Church in Worcester from 2015 to 2018 and listed on his LinkedIn page past employment as a substitute teacher in Worcester Public Schools, an instructional aid in Shrewsbury Public Schools and most recently as a teacher assistant at Little Sprouts child care in Natick.
FBI agents on Sept. 11 raided the rectory of St. Luke’s Episcopal Church, where Lisby lives with his husband, the church’s reverend, and the couple’s two daughters. Authorities say they found more than 150 pornographic images on an iPad. (snip)

Apparently the U.S. Episcopal Church OK’d same sex marriage in 2015.
A priest is (or is not) whoever anyone says a priest is. Definitions and authorities are arbitrary and politically purposed.
The language is dead, the churches are given over.
It’s time to forsake the assembly.
I’d put the guy to death.
The question now is when will he receive a promotion.
ugh!!! queers should not be able to adopt!!!
if he hasn’t gone before a Disciplinary Board and been de-frocked, then he is still an ordained priest.
People are afraid to file charges on homosexuals because they become a target and the complainant suffers more than the perpetrator.
This true in churches, but also true throughout our society.
I have a friend who is a retired FBI Agent. He has told me how awful this stuff is. A description of child pornography is something our lovely media chooses to avoid. This isn’t just naked pictures. These are pictures and videos of kids with kids, kids with adults and kids with animals. It’s more disgusting than you can imagine. The FBI regularly has agents who deal
With this filth go through regular evaluations to make sure they’re ok. While it’s not easy to do, I always make sure I discuss the graphic nature with friends when the topic comes up, so they don’t assume it’s the equivalent of looking at a playboy magazine.
These ducking sickos, how is a kid sexy?
Yikes.
Those ‘Piscopalians have really gone round the bend.
a very sad state of affairs becoming more and more accepted by our society. When I was in LE I was to arrest a Methodist minister for an embezzlement charge from his past. I found and arrested him in a homosexual bar. When searching his home, the church rectory, I also arrested his pardner - his pardner in bed and embezzlement. The church members held him in high esteem - pure as the driven snow. They had no idea who they had hired as a spiritual leader.I really felt sorry for them. And this was in the sixties.
too bad they couldn’t identify the priest Episcopalian in the headline....
