	Sentencing Hearing for Former Bishop Set to Resume 101.5 Fm August 4, 2011 http://www.1015thehawk.com/index.php/2011080454051/Local-News/sentencing-hearing-for-former-bishop-set-to-resume.html A former bishop of the Diocese of Antigonish is expected to return to an Ottawa courtroom Thursday. Raymond Lahey, 71, pleaded guilty to importing child pornography in May; he waived bail and went to jail immediately. He's still in custody. Lahey still faces a possession charge, but that's expected to be formally withdrawn as part of his plea deal when he's sentenced. His sentencing hearing resumes with a final day of submissions; it was postponed in June. The crown was waiting for a file from the psychiatrist who examined Lahey, and assessed his sexual behaviour. Police charged Lahey shortly after border officials seized his laptop at the Ottawa airport in Sept. 2009; he resigned as Antigonish bishop shortly after.
