OTTAWA – A former bishop caught with child porn at the Ottawa airport in 2009 will be freed after a judge sentenced him Wednesday to time served.
Raymond Lahey, 71, got 15 months in jail and two years of probation. He has already spent eight months in jail, but received two-for-one credit for the time served.
Lahey pleaded guilty in May to importing child pornography. Border agents had discovered child porn on Lahey’s laptop when he re-entered the country on Sept. 15, 2009.
Among 155,000 gay porn files, cops found 588 photos and about 60 videos of child pornography. They also found stories about child slavery, sex and torture.
“Not only is a child victimized … But the violation of the child rises like a phoenix every time that child is viewed,” Judge Kent Kirkland said.
