Spallek was pastor of Salem Lutheran Church in Black Jack until resigning last September, just before he was indicted. He once held various positions with the Missouri District of the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod.
Court documents show that he was snared in a global child pornography investigation because of his membership in an online bulletin board used to share child porn.
Spallek also has been ordered to spend life on supervised release after his prison term.
