Dirty Diary Disclosed

James Michael Bomek, a sex offender and former lawyer in Sask., is on trial for obstruction of justice.

Police found seven volumes of diaries that contained information on provincial court judge Terry Bekolay, a former president of the Saskatchewan NDP, who Bomek knew through the gay community.  Bekolay resigned early last year, citing medical reasons.

The allegations suggest that Bomek used his relationship with Bekolay to intervene on behalf of a friend, Norman Custer.  Bomek defends himself by saying that as a recently outed gay sex offender, he was too ashamed to go through normal channels.  He also shares stories of abuse and homophobia while within the criminal system.

After having sex with young male clients between 2001-2002, Bomek was sentenced for 3.5 years and disbarred.   His current term is related to sexual assault and child pornography charges.
