The Sudbury Star
By Carol Mulligan/The Sudbury Star
The sexual abuse of students decades ago at St. Charles College by a Roman Catholic priest is “the white elephant in the room in Sudbury” and must be aired publicly, says the lawyer representing victims of the disgraced clergyman.
Father William Hodgson (Hod) Marshall, 89, is serving two years in Kingston Penitentiary after pleading guilty in June 2011 to 17 charges of indecent assault, six involving Sudbury men.
Some of those men are now seeking justice from authorities they say knew about the abuse they were subjected to and did nothing to stop it.
