B.C. church minister sentenced for child pornography charges after pleading guilty
Aaron Farough, 36, of Fort St. John, had been charged with possession of child pornography, importing/distributing child pornography and accessing child pornography. Charges dated back to February, 2019 while he was staying at a Courtenay home of one of his parishioners in the North Island.
Farough’s missionary work relied on room and board at homes of members of his church. According to a local source who asked for anonymity, the ministry in question has no official name but has been called The 2×2’s, referring to ministers going out in pairs. It’s also known as The Truth, or The Way. It originated in Ireland in the 19th century. Today, there are no formal headquarters. Each country has a main overseer who keeps things operational. In Canada, each province has an overseer.
The source was allowed to listen to a pre-sentencing hearing via Zoom, Dec. 12 in Courtenay. Farough used a smartphone to access, download and distribute child pornography in the Courtenay home on Feb. 17, 2019. The RCMP intercepted the images and began investigating the IP address. Farough was found to have distributed 28 of 32 image files of child pornography. Analysis confirms the children in the videos and images were all girls, ranging from four to 12 years old.
