If your job title has ‘youth’ in it, you might be a pervert

It’s bishops’ skulls all the way down…

William Kokesch was arrested in December 2012 after police searched his home in Pointe Claire and his office at the parish where he served as a deacon. They seized over 2,000 child pornography images.

Kokesch, now 68, worked for the CCCB from 1995 to 2005 and helped coordinate Canadian participation at World Youth Day in 1997, 2000, 2002, and 2005.

During his tenure with the CCCB communications service, Kokesch was responsible for promulgating the Canadian bishops’ response to the sex abuse scandal of the early 2000s.
