A former Catholic priest has been sentenced to three years in prison for sexually assaulting more than a dozen boys who were in his care in the 1970s and 1980s, when he was in charge of a school dormitory in the Quebec City region.
Raymond-Marie Lavoie, 71, pleaded guilty last year to assaulting 13 boys.
The crown prosecutor had recommended he be given an eight-year sentence, but the judge in the case decided that was too long.
The three-year sentence is a disappointment to Frank Tremblay, one of Lavoie’s victims who was just 13 years old when he was first assaulted by the former priest.
