	Bail Grant for a Former Ottawa Priest Charged with Indecent Assault By Gord McDougall CFRA August 11 2010 http://www.cfra.com/?cat=1&nid=74882 A former Roman Catholic priest facing a charge of indecent assault going back to the 1970s has been granted bail. Father J. Kenneth O'Keefe taught at St. Pius X High School and is charged with inappropriate conduct with a male student in 1972. A publication ban has been imposed on the case, but CFRA News is able to report that O'Keefe will continue to reside in Toronto while he awaits his court appearances. Ottawa Archbishop Terrence Prendergast has issued a statement, saying his office has been cooperating with the Ottawa Police on this investigation, which has been underway since last month. Prendergast points out this is the second priest from Pius to be charged in recent weeks and he's offering his pastoral concern and personal support to all involved. O'Keefe will be back in Ottawa court on September 1st.
