Teacher Facing Child Porn Charges Coached In Doylestown Schools: DA

DOYLESTOWN, PA — A Bucks County Catholic school teacher charged with child pornography possession coached youth sports at several schools in the Doylestown area, authorities said.

Richard Adamsky, a teacher at Nativity of Our Lord Parish School in Warminster, was arrested by the Warminster Police Department at his home on Wednesday morning. He faces felony criminal charges of having "hundreds of images" of child pornography and for the criminal use of a communications device, authorities said.

Adamsky coached football, softball, basketball, and track and field at Nativity as well as Archbishop Wood High School in Warminster, the Warrington Athletic Association, Lenape Middle School in Central Bucks, and Our Lady of Mount Carmel Catholic Church in Doylestown, the Bucks County District Attorney's Office said.

"Based on information provided by law enforcement, it is our understanding that the activities involved Adamsky’s personal electronic devices only and that there were no allegations that he had physically harmed a student or minor, the Archdiocese of Philadelphia said in a statement.

The images found on electronic devices belonging to Adamsky were of girls in the same age group that he taught at the Nativity of Our Lord Catholic School on Street Road in Warminster, authorities said.
