In this news report it is noted that he is a FORMER Bnai Brith
director.

MONTREAL — A well-known member of Montreal's Jewish community and a
longtime academic dean at John Abbott College will be going to jail in
December for possession of child pornography.

Bill Surkis is a former director of B'nai Brith, a Jewish human rights
group, who reached a plea agreement with the prosecution to ask for
the minimum 45-day jail sentence for the child pornography charge.

But the two sides do not agree on what should happen to Surkis after
he is released.

Prosecutors are arguing for Surkis to be placed on the national sex
offender registry, to provide a DNA sample, and that he be forbidden
from using computers or going to public parks and other places
children congregate.

Surkis's lawyer says jail along with community service will suffice.

Surkis took the stand at his sentencing hearing Thursday and expressed
remorse for what he did.

"I'm devastated," he said. "I'm sorry…there are no words that can be
spoken to describe what I did. It's very difficult to get undressed in
public."

In May the 71-year-old pleaded guilty to one count of accessing child
pornography, and another count of child pornography possession after
police found nine hours of videos involving children between six and
14 years old performing sexual acts on his computer.

A charge of distributing child pornography was dropped.

Court-appointed experts say Surkis is neither a pedophile nor a
dangerous sex offender, and that his arrest and public humiliation
means he's unlikely to re-offend.

His lawyer, Stephen Slimovitch, asked that Surkis be spared the usual
probation conditions, and he plans to ask that Surkis be permitted to
serve his sentence only on weekends.

The prosecution is asking that all those probation conditions be
applied to Surkis because he refuses any form of therapy and is not
admitting the severity of his crimes, saying he was only drawn to
child pornography out of curiosity.

The judge will render a decision on December 9.
