Six First Nation Men Launch Sex Assault Lawsuit
A lawsuit is
being launched by six men from the Lac La Croix First Nation for alleged sexual
abuse while they were boys by a priest who lived and worked on the reserve in
the 1960's. The men are seeking unspecified financial damages from the federal
government, a Catholic diocese in Thunder Bay, a Winnipeg-based Roman Catholic
order, as well as the priest who died almost 20 years ago. None of the allegations have been proven in court.
