Priest pleads guilty to federal child sex exploitation charges

A Catholic priest pleaded guilty this week to charges of child sex exploitation related to the transport of a minor from South Carolina to Florida several years ago.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of South Carolina said in a press release Thursday that 68-year-old Jamie Adolfo Gonzalez-Farias had entered a guilty plea on charges of transportation of a minor with intent to engage in criminal sexual activity.
