More child pornography charges have been laid against a disbarred St. John’s lawyer.

Fifty-four-year-old Michael Drover was struck from the Roll of Barristers and stripped of all practicing privileges in 2017.

That was after he was found to have “misappropriated” almost $200,000 from three clients, plus another $220,000 held in trust for two other clients, to pay bills for his Water Street law firm.

That all happened between 2011 and 2014.

Flash forward to last August, when three child pornography charges were laid against Drover, including secretly watching or recording a person while naked, and making child pornography.

At the time, he was involved with running a café on MUN’s St. John’s campus.

Then this morning, two more child pornography charges laid—one of making it, and another of possessing the disturbing material.

Drover has been free on bail since last year, with orders to stay away from children.

He was not in court today but represented by his lawyer, who declined comment.

Drover’s case will be called again in September, to deal with all five of the child pornography charges he’s facing.
