MONTREAL – A Montreal deacon charged with producing, possessing and distributing child pornography is free on $10,000 bail.

William Kokesch, 65, and his wife testified at his bail hearing Thursday, but a judge ordered their testimony be banned from publication.

Kokesch’s lawyer, Jeffrey Boro, told journalists outside the courtroom that his client has the “support of his family.”

Montreal police said they found more than 2,000 images of child pornography after searching Kokesch’s home and another location last Friday.
