Priest Hit With Child Porn Charges

A well-known Roman Catholic priest who had positions in a number of parishes has been hit with kiddie porn charges. Reverand Robert Timchak, with an address at Saint Vincent Drive in Milford, surrendered yesterday.  State police say the Scranton Diocese sent information to the Pike County district attorney relative to an anonymous letter that the diocese said contained explicit photos and comments of young males....possibly children...that reportedly had been recovered during the search of an e-mail address traced to Timchak.  He's also accused of deleting graphic files.  Timchak began in the diocese in 1992 at Saint Mary's in Wilkes-Barre.  He also had ties to Seton Catholic in Pittston and Bishop Hoban in Wilkes-Barre.  His assignments also took him to Hazleton.
