Father Franco Legrottaglie
will go to trial May 2 for possession of child pornography,
sources said Wednesday.
The 67-year-old prelate from Ostuni in Brindisi province
has been under house arrest since November.
He served in the Brindisi-Ostuni diocese, including as a
parish priest and a chaplain at Perrino Hospital in Brindisi.
He has a previous conviction for "violently libidinous
acts" in a 1991 incident, for which he was sentenced to a year
and ten months in prison.
