The former Orlando leader of the Bahia Shrine in Central Florida was found guilty of one count of distributing child pornography under a plea agreement.
William Trey Rapp, 49, is the former potentate, or top leader, of Bahia Shriners. He'll be sentenced January 2 in a federal courtroom in Orlando and faces up to 20 years in federal prison.
The deal, outlined in a 23-page document, dismisses two other child-porn charges against Rapp, once known as Illustrious Sir William Trey Rapp of the Bahia Shrine.
The Bahia Shriners, a charitable organization, is part of an international nonprofit dedicated to helping families and children, especially young burn victims.
Shriners International also supports Shriners Hospitals for Children, a health system with 22 locations.
Fez-wearing Shriners also drive tiny cars in parades and participate in various community events.
A criminal complaint says the FBI detected a suspected download of child porn June 17 and traced it to Rapp. One of the videos showed a man attacking a 5-year-old girl, authorities say.
Rapp had about 600 images, according to his plea agreement.

Interesting video on the dark side of the Shriners. They have a history of this sort of thing...
Shriners Circus of Abominations
https://youtu.be/y-xAe7Cbdh0
'Perverse rituals, hookers, molestations, dark Masonic foundations – SHRINERS hide the terrifying abuses of a secretive organization behind smiling clowns, candy and tear-jerking, sentimental ads for children’s hospitals while soliciting millions from an unsuspecting uninformed public.
But are these abominations just a conspiracy farce - or have the dark underpinnings of the SHRINE been hidden all along - protected by bloody vows of silence like other Masonic orders? Join Dr. William Schnoebelen as he exposes the dark rites of the SHRINERS.'
