Raymond Lahey, 69, has been charged with possessing and importing child pornography. (Canadian Press)The plea of a Nova Scotia Roman Catholic bishop charged in Ottawa with importing and possessing child pornography won't be known until at least April.
The new date was set after his Ontario provincial court appearance Wednesday was postponed.
Raymond Lahey, 69, was charged after his laptop was seized at the Ottawa International Airport. He was detained briefly on Sept. 15 and then released.
Lahey resigned as the bishop of the diocese of Antigonish in Nova Scotia before being formally charged on Sept. 25.
His next court appearance is scheduled for April 9.
