QUEBEC – A Quebec priest who pleaded guilty to multiple counts of sexual assault involving 13 boys who attended a private Catholic school during the 1970s and ’80s was sentenced Friday to three years in jail.
Raymond-Marie Lavoie was a teacher at Seminaire St-Alphonse, in Ste. Anne de Beaupre, just outside Quebec City, when the assaults took place.
The 71-year-old priest asked his victims for forgiveness and mercy when he pleaded guilty last fall.
Lavoie’s victims were all boarders at the college and were between the ages of 12 and 15 at the time.
