Neocaesarea - Canon 10

Likewise, if a deacon have fallen into the same sin, let him have the rank of a minister.

This refers back to Canon 9 and the elder confessing sexual sin prior to ordination.  Should the same scenario happen with a deacon, he would no be allowed to move further up the clerical ladder as an elder or overseer.
