	Porn Priest Back in Court Jack Fm May 24, 2010 http://www.jackbristol.com/newscentre/bristols-news/porn-priest-back-in-court-4328 A Bristol man will appear at Bristol Magistrates Court after breaking court order. A paedophile Roman Catholic priest involved in a child porn ring will appear before Bristol Magistrates Court today charged with breaching his sex offences order. Father Barnaby Dowling, 50, was convicted in June 2006 after a police swoop found over 100 images on his computer, some of which had been forwarded to other paedophiles. He admitted eight offences relating to child porn but escaped jail with a community order and was given a sex offender's order. Last month, Dowling appeared at Bristol Magistrate's Court to face four counts of breaching the order by attending two churches between April 2009 and January this year. He is due back for a plea and case management hearing today. The court had heard he visited St Osmond's Church in Salisbury, Wilts., on April 4, December 23 and January 9 last year, from which the prosecution claim he is banned. Dowling, who had been a serving priest for 22 years before his sentencing in 2007, is also accused of attending Alabere Celebration Salisbury Methodist Church on October 10.
