Members Lucky Posted May 5, 2011 Members Posted May 5, 2011 One month before being arrested himself, Roman Catholic Bishop Raymond Lahey negotiated a settlement with the victims of priestly abuse in his diocese to the tune of $15 million. Apparently he then went on vacation. Upon his return, Canadian customs officials examined his laptop and found 588 graphic images of children, 33 videos, and the texts of stories featuring the enslavement of children. Some of the boys in the photographs were only 8 years old. He faces 1 to 10 years in prison. He now is in his second day in prison. So far he has not beaten or raped. One wonders what caused the authorities to open his laptop. Are bishops now all suspects? The Reverend Bishop UPDATE: Apparently my question is answered here: Lahey came under suspicion after he hesitated and appeared nervous when questioned by a border agent at the airport as he was returning from London, England. His passport also indicated that he had been to Thailand and Indonesia. A border agent then found a few images she deemed to be child pornography on his computer as well as sex toys in his bag, according to the statement of facts. Further investigation found 588 images deemed child pornography on electronic devices he owns, as well as stories that depict forced sex acts, torture and degradation of young boys, the crown read to the court from the statement.
