More details have come to light about the images found on Bishop Raymond Lahey's laptop seized at Ottawa International airport last month after his return to Canada from a trip abroad. It's very disturbing, especially considering this guy is a Roman Catholic bishop. A police search warrant, used to search the former Antigonish bishop's homes and office here in Nova Scotia, details images of young naked males including one boy wearing only rosary beads around his neck. The warrant states he appears to be 9 to 12 years old. The warrant also claims Lahey had sex-related chats online with people he believed to be adults. Lahey's back in court next month in Ottawa on child pornography charges. RCMP here in Nova Scotia might also lay charges of their own against the bishop after they sift through the computers and other electronic devices seized in last week's raids.

While the Roman Catholic church here has shunned Lahey and won't pay his legal bills for a very pricey Ottawa lawyer, his bud Terrance Prendergast has taken him under his wing. Prendergast is the former Archbishop of Halifax. He is now the bishop in charge of the Ottawa diocese. Lahey is living in a church apartment in Ottawa while his criminal charges go through the courts.
