Legal researcher hired by province accused

A man hired by the province to research the law now finds himself fighting it.
Gary Philip Dolovich, 39, has been charged with 17 counts of distributing child pornography over the Internet.
The man, a lawyer on unpaid leave from his job as a legal researcher at the provincial Court of Appeal, was arrested Tuesday at Lester B. Pearson International Airport in Mississauga, Ont., as he got off a plane from England.
He was escorted back to Winnipeg by police officers Wednesday, then released on his own recognizance.
Police accuse Dolovich of distributing child porn through the Internet on 17 different occasions between May and September 2005. Police would not say to whom he was allegedly distributing it or where he allegedly got it from.
Const. Blair Good, a spokesman for Winnipeg police, said cops began to investigate the man after receiving a tip from a national police body that deals with child exploitation.
On Feb. 11, police seized several computers and hardware "from addresses known to" Dolovich, said Good.
Police would not specify where the computers were seized from. Jeff Schnoor, assistant deputy minister of courts for Manitoba Justice, said it doesn't appear any government computers were involved or that Dolovich was accessing child porn at work.
Following the February seizure, Dolovich was charged with one count each of possessing and accessing child porn. He was then released from custody with the conditions he not access the Internet, not possess any porn and avoid being alone with anyone under 18 years of age without the written permission of Child and Family Services.
PUT ON UNPAID LEAVE
Dolovich was put on unpaid leave from his job two days after the seizures, said Schnoor.
Martin Glazer, Dolovich's lawyer, said his client then went to visit family in England.
Meanwhile, police in Winnipeg combed through the seized computers and discovered what they claim is evidence Dolovich had distributed child porn on several occasions.
A Canada-wide warrant was issued for his arrest, and Dolovich was nabbed Tuesday as he returned to the country.
Glazer said his client had a return ticket to Winnipeg and was changing planes in Toronto. He doesn't understand why police didn't arrest him here.
Dolovich has again been released from custody on the condition he not leave Winnipeg. He also surrendered his Canadian and Israeli passports, since police now consider him a flight risk.
Since the man is a justice department employee, the Crown has brought in special prosecutor Marty Minuk to work on the case.
Dolovich's next court appearance is Aug. 31.
Glazer said his client is innocent until proven guilty and intends to fight the charges.
Winnipeg lawyer accused of distributing child
porn

July 21, 2006
A Winnipeg lawyer who has been working as a researcher with the Manitoba Court of Appeal has been charged with distributing hundreds of photos of child pornography around the world through the Internet.
An extensive police investigation began last fall and has included the search and seizure of several computers -- including ones used by the province's highest court, the Free Press has learned.
Police have only uncovered images to date on personal computers but said yesterday their investigation is ongoing.
Gary Philip Dolovich, 39, was first arrested in February and charged with a single count of possession of child pornography. He was given a promise to appear in court and police didn't release any information to the public at the time.
Investigators continued to pore through computer hard drives and say they recently uncovered new evidence that led them to seek a Canada-wide warrant for Dolovich, who they learned had left the province.
Two city police officers flew to Toronto earlier this week and arrested Dolovich on Tuesday at Pearson International Airport. He was switching planes to fly home after visiting family members overseas.
Dolovich was held in custody overnight at the airport and returned to Winnipeg on Wednesday.
He was released on bail once again with several conditions including turning over his Canadian and Israeli passports, not having unsupervised contact with children and staying off the Internet. He must also remain in Winnipeg and not travel.
Dolovich is in the midst of divorce proceedings with his wife of eight years and is the father of two children, aged 7 and 1, according to court documents. The divorce proceedings have been ongoing since 2002.
Lawyer Marty Minuk has been retained by the province as a special independent Crown prosecutor to avoid any potential conflict of interest.
Defence lawyer Martin Glazer said yesterday Dolovich is presumed innocent and criticized police for releasing his client's name. He also questioned the logic of paying for two officers to fly to Toronto to arrest him.
"He always intended to come back to Winnipeg. We consider this a waste of taxpayers' money," said Glazer.
Glazer said he doesn't believe there will be any allegations his client was sending child pornography through his work at the Law Courts.
Winnipeg police spokesman Const. Blair Good said yesterday that police began their investigation in September 2005 after getting a tip that a man was "having conversations with several persons over the Internet and allegedly trading hundreds of child pornography images." A forensic examination of the computers allegedly found that between May and September 2005, child pornography images were imported and distributed on 17 different occasions, said Good.
Det. Sgt. Richard Lemire of the Manitoba Integrated Child Exploitation Unit said the 17 charges represent hundreds of pornographic images of children.
Dolovich was called to the bar in 1991 and worked briefly with the provincial government in its constitutional law branch, according to the Law Society of Manitoba.
Dolovich first began working as a researcher with the Court of Appeal in 1995 but left three years later. He returned for a brief stint in 2001 and then again in 2004.
Dolovich's employment with the Appeal Court was terminated weeks after his first arrest this year. Law Society records show his final day of work was March 20.
