Roman Catholic priest Bernard Cloutier has been sent to jail for five years for sexually molesting young men a quarter century ago at various church parishes in the Sudbury area.

Cloutier was originally charged with 16 charges of sex-related offences involving five young men.

Following a lengthy trial, he was found guilty of 11 of the charges involving four of the five males.

Superior Court Justice Paul Kane convicted Cloutier of five counts of gross indecency, four of indecent assault and two counts of sexual assault on four male teens.

The charges were laid in February of last year following allegations by five males, now adults, about incidents that took place from 1970 to 1983, when they were aged 12-17.
