A 52 year old CBS man, facing child pornography charges, has been identified as an Anglican Priest. The Diocesan Synod of Eastern Newfoundland and Labrador says it is grieved to hear that Rev. Robin Barrett has been arrested. Bishop Cyrus Pitman says Barrett has been relieved of his duties in keeping with the church's Sexual Protocol Policy. Barrett is the rector of St. Paul's Church in the Goulds. He had recently served with the Church of the Good Shepherd in Mount Pearl. RNC Constable Paul Davis says the Toronto Police Service - Child Exploitation Section contacted them in November to provide information in relation to their own investigation into a child pornography case involving a suspect from this province. The Constabulary's Child Exploitation Unit and Toronto authorities began working together leading to the man's arrest at his home in CBS 8:00 Tuesday morning. Davis is not able to provide details about what evidence led to the charges.
