SYDNEY — Roman Catholic priest Rev. Paul Abbass has broken his silence over a police investigation that concluded there was no basis for criminal charges against him.
Abbass said although he plans to return to ministry he has to take some personal time for healing.
“I know everyone will understand my need for reflection and healing,” he said while also noting he won’t be doing any media interviews at this time.
The Cape Breton Regional Police said last week they have dropped their investigation into a former employee of Talbot House and have no basis to pursue any criminal charges. Abbass confirmed in an email that he was the person being investigated.
