A victim of sexual abuse is applauding the Archdiocese of Moncton for offering counselling and compensation to victims of a former priest in Cap-Pelé.

The diocese announced last week that it had retained Michel Bastarache, the former Supreme Court of Canada justice, to handle all the sexual abuse complaints against Camille Léger, who died in 1990 and was never convicted of any crimes.

Normand Brun came forward 15 years ago to say he was abused as a child by Léger.

Brun received a cheque from the church in 1997, but says he wishes the church had dealt with him back then the way it’s proceeding now.
