MONTREAL — Father Daniel Moreau was released on bail — with conditions — Monday afternoon by a judge in Sorel-Tracy.

Charged with seven counts of production, possession and distribution of child pornography, the Roman Catholic priest and long-time scouting leader had been jailed since his arrest Thursday morning at his living quarters at Saint-Gabriel-Lalement church, about 100 kilometres northeast of Montreal.

Moreau, 55, was handcuffed and taken away by the Sûreté du Québec after officers equipped with a search warrant began to examine his computer equipment, at the request of a police force from outside Quebec.
