An elderly, defrocked Catholic priest is facing a
lengthy prison sentence after admitting to years of sexual abuse against
three young Winnipeg boys he took under his care.
Father Ronald
Léger, 77, the former pastor of Holy Family Parish on Archibald Street,
pleaded guilty Monday to sexual assault and sexual interference. It was a
surprise move. Léger had been arrested months earlier and was expected
to make a routine court appearance.
