Incensed scenes erupted inside an Ottawa courthouse Wednesday after a Eclectic bishop with an addiction to Internet pornography walked free despite admitting to possessing images of in the raw boys wearing rosary beads and crucifixes.
Ontario Court Fair play Kent Kirkland sentenced Raymond Lahey to 15 months in prison Wednesday, time that he will be credited with already having served, prompting an surge from one man in the court.
“You’re not a pedophile, you’re a demon, you f–king idiot,” the man yelled at Lahey.
“I’m a survivor, I got to burning with it. He’s a f–king demon!” the man shouted, as the judge called for refuge.
Lahey, who once negotiated a $13-million settlement for victims of stripling sex abuse by priests as the bishop of Antigonish, N.S., pleaded guilty in May to ownership of child pornography for the purpose of importation.
However a leading children’s rights activist said Wednesday that the 15-month judgement did not reflect the seriousness of the crime.
