Montreal deacon facing child porn charges

Deacon William Kokesch
Deacon William Kokesch, a Montreal permanent deacon who served the Church for 10 years is facing child pornography charges. He was released on bail on December 27th after posting a $10,000 cash bond on the condition that he cannot use computers or be around anyone under 18 without adult supervision. The father of the five grown children will go to court with him on February 27th. Investigators had done a search on the Deacon's computer and had found over 2,000 child porn images.

This relates to Law 12 because it is about Canada, our country :) I chose this article in particular because it had to do with our Church and the national community. It is not just a scandal because it as adult posting child pornography but is intensified because he is a Deacon who serves the Church which greatly damages the Church's reputation.

  1. This is awful, a very tender topic. Like you said, it's horrible for anyone to commit this atrocious act but because he is a Dean, it makes it worse...I hope he stays true to his condition.
