A Catholic priest has been sentenced to 25 years in prison after he was found to possess more than 2,000 photos and videos of child pornography. Thomas Faucher, 73, will not be eligible for parole and must register as a sex offender.

After investigators discovered thousands of disturbing images and chats about raping and murdering young boys, the well-known priest in the Roman Catholic Diocese of Boise pleaded guilty to five felony crimes including two counts of distribution of sexually exploitative material, two counts of possession of sexually exploitative materials, and one count of drug possession, Daily Mail reports.

According to the Idaho Statesman, the father apologized to the courtroom and called himself "one sick puppy" before he was sentenced on Thursday.
