More lawsuits have been filed alleging sexual abuse by former priest Yvon Arsenault, according to CBC.
A man who attended Saint-Henri church in Barachois and another who went to Sainte-Thérèse in Cap Pelé have each filed lawsuits against Arsenault and the archbishop of Moncton. Arsenault is already serving a four-year prison sentence after pleading guilty to nine counts of molestation involving other boys dating back to the 1070s. The two lawsuits also state that if the archdiocese didn’t know about the alleged sexual abuse, it should have.
