Lawyers say the death of a former Port Dover area priest who sexually abused parishioners will not derail civil suits filed against him and the Roman Catholic diocese of London. Barbara Legate says the claims of her 28 clients will proceed without much change.

Legate says evidence is mounting that a large number of institutions, religious, educational, and police agencies knew about his sexual tendencies before children were hurt.

84 year old Charles Sylvestre died yesterday of natural causes just months into his three-year prison sentence. He admitted to indecently assaulting 47 girls while serving as parish priest.
