A former priest who admitted last summer to sexually assaulting dozens of young girls over a four-decade span has died.

Father Charles Sylvestre was 84 years old.

The Diocese of London through a posting on its website does not say how Sylvestre died, although he had been sick for sometime.

The 84-year old was a priest at several locations throughout the province, including Chatham, London, Sarnia and Windsor.

Sylvestre admitted back in August to indecently assaulting 47 female victims between 1954 and 1986.

Sylvestre was sentenced to three years in prison late last year, but never got around to serving any of that time.
