ST. JOHN'S, N.L. - An Anglican priest in Newfoundland has been accused of possessing child pornography.

Rev. Robin Barrett of Conception Bay South, N.L., appeared in provincial court today on charges of possessing and making available child pornography.

Bishop Cyris Pittman of the Diocesan Synod of Eastern Newfoundland and Labrador says Barrett has been relieved of his duties as rector of St. Paul's Church in Goulds.

The 52-year-old was arrested early today during a search of his home by the Royal Newfoundland Constabulary.

The investigation began after Toronto police contacted the constabulary's child exploitation unit about a suspect living in the province.
