The bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of
Western Massachusetts on Friday sent a letter to all congregants
lamenting the arrest of the Rev. Gregory Lisby on a child pornography
charge last night, highlighting that Lisby has been banned from all
contact with the church.
FBI agents
raided Lisby’s Worcester home — an Episcopal rectory where he lives with
his husband and the couple’s two daughters — on Sept. 11. Lisby was a
newly minted kindergarten teacher in Holyoke when the government closed
in. He resigned his position at the school in an email sent to a Holyoke
schools official at 2:30 Thursday morning.
Lisby was arrested last night in Northborough, according to a news
release from the U.S. attorney’s office in Boston. He will be arraigned
in a federal court in that city this afternoon. Lisby has been charged
with possession of child pornography after agents recovered more than
180 photos and 15 videos from his computer, according to court records.
That charge carries a maximum prison sentence of 20 years.
