Deacon Faces Child Porn Charges
Toledo diocese deacon suspended from ministry.

A deacon in the Toledo Catholic diocese is facing federal charges of having child pornography. The diocese says it knew of these accusations for months and did not allow the deacon to be ordained as a priest.

J. Michael Tynan was scheduled to be ordained as a priest in June. But Bishop Leonard Blair says the diocese has been cooperating with the U.S. attorney's office. Today, those charges were filed against Tynan in federal court. He has not been summoned yet and that date has not been set at this point.

Bishop Blair says Tynan remains a deacon by ordination, but was suspended from the ministry on June 10.
