A former English teacher for the Holley Central School District has pleaded guilty to child pornography charges.

Prosecutors say members of the FBI Child Exploitation Task Force began monitoring 41-year-old Steven Choi's IP address in December 2014 and recovered sexually explicit photographs of prepubescent girls on his laptop computer.

The Rochester man was arrested in July 2016.

Choi faces up to 10 years in prison. He is scheduled for sentencing in May.
