A former Port Dover priest says he has paid more than 36-thousand dollars to a man who threatened to expose him for sexual abuse.

The priest has pleaded guilty to sexually abusing two altar boys from his parish from mid-1990s to 2000. At his sentencing hearing yesterday, Father Konnie Przybylski said one of the boys called him several years ago and demanded money.

The two altar boys, now 24 and 23, have gone public with their stories and are suing the priest and the diocese for six million dollars.

One of them admitted phoning the priest but denied the blackmail allegations. The sentencing hearing resumes next Tuesday.
