Bishop Raymond Lahey was arrested at the Ottawa airport in 2009 after customs authorities found almost 600 pornographic photos of young teen boys on his laptop and a handheld device. Some involved adolescent boys engaged in sex acts while wearing a crucifix and rosary beads.

Lahey pleaded guilty last May to one count of importing child pornography

Ontario Court Justice Kent Kirkland on Wednesday gave Lahey double credit for the time he served. Double credit is not unusual.

At a sentencing hearing last month, Lahey offered an apology.
