Disgraced Ex-bishop Lahey Faces Sentencing Hearing Vancouver Sun August 4, 2011 http://www.vancouversun.com/news/Disgraced+bishop+Lahey+faces+sentencing+hearing/5204491/story.html
A sentencing hearing is set to start Thursday for disgraced former Roman Catholic bishop Raymond Lahey, who pleaded guilty earlier this year to possessing child pornography. Lahey, 71, was bishop of Antigonish, N.S., when he was caught with child pornography on his laptop computer while passing through the Ottawa airport in summer 2009 after a trip abroad. Lahey voluntarily went to jail after pleading guilty in May to possessing the pornography for the purpose of importation. He faces a one-year mandatory minimum sentence. His hearing was to begin in an Ottawa courtroom Thursday, and is expected to continue, after a break, in December. |
