Yakima Bishop Regrets Hiring Child Porn Suspect

YAKIMA -- The bishop of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Yakima said Tuesday he regrets hiring a retreat director known to be under investigation of child pornography charges in Oregon, saying it "wasn't a good hire."

Juan Jose Gonzalez, 37, of Cowiche is being held with bail set at $80,000 at the Yakima County Jail on a fugitive warrant issued in Marion County, Ore. He faces four charges of encouraging child sex abuse, a felony, according to Yakima County Superior Court records....

It was known that this guy was being investigated, but he was hired, nonetheless..."History is history..." as Archbishop Wilton Gregory stated years ago. Some people just don't seem to get it.
