A former city council member from Ketchikan is facing more charges of possessing child pornography.

80-year-old John Shay Jr., is facing an additional 80 counts. The Ketchikan Police Department says that two of the charges stem from a homemade video that shows Shay and an unidentified underage female. The remaining charges are from printed images found in Shay's home during a search warrant.

Earlier this week, Shay was charged with ten felony counts of possessing child pornography.

Shay was ordered by a judge to remand himself to the Ketchikan Correctional Center by 4 p.m. Thursday. His bail is now set at $100,000 and a third party is required.

Good luck with penalties. Hasn't he skated before because he is a good old boy?

Apparently, child molesting is a fairly common thing; what a tragedy!

What can you do to an 80-year-old man? At 80 years old he is lucky to be alive. I'm just waiting for the I'm in poor health excuse to come up.

What can you do to an 80 year old man? Torture the f--k out of him until it kills him, that's what! He deserves the worst punishment that can be thought up. Sick bast*rd!

I met him a few times when I lived in KTN, and he seemed like a nice guy. Guess he had a double life.

He may be "old" but he will still be required to pay the price for his crimes one way or another... Mr. Shay has had a long run in the public spotlight of Ketchikan. I understand he played a role on the school board as well which would have given him access to plenty of children. Hope he put his affairs in order before remanding himself for custody because even crooks and killers have their own code when it comes to children... He will be lucky to see the new year. Praying for all the children who have been victimized by this man and will have to live with those emotional scars long after he is gone.

Even if he had one leg in the grave and one on a banana peel, he is a stinking pervert and deserves the longest punishment they can deal.If I had a child molested by this gutter trash, I would demand the death penalty!
