A Roman Catholic Deacon charged with child pornography will be back in court February 21.

William Kokesch was arrested in December 2012 and charged with distribution, possesion and production of child pornography.

In court on Tuesday his lawyer was tying to get more evidence from the crown about the case.

Jeffrey Boro said his client is anxious to put an end to the case, but would not say whether Kokesch plans to plead guilty or go to trial.

"Anybody who faces serious charges such as these that has somewhat of a public persona certainly is suffering quite a bit," said Boro.

He added that Kokesch is getting support from his family and from the Roman Catholic church.

Kokesch is facing anywhere from one to 10 years in prison if found guilty.
