Episode Details

A former Montreal priest convicted in 2019 for abusing two boys is now facing fresh charges of possessing and accessing child sexual abuse material — allegedly committed between April 7–9 this year. The 64-year-old, who served eight years in prison before being released into a community facility in 2024, had already been flagged by the Parole Board for possible additional offenses and was under strict conditions including no contact with children or victims. Despite being defrocked in 2020 and multiple decades of complaints dating back to the 1980s, the case has reignited scrutiny over the Catholic diocese’s handling of abuse allegations — with the archbishop previously pledging new protocols that never fully addressed the systemic failures. His next court date is set for September 8.
