Guy Cormier shows black and white photos of himself, including one back in 1955 when he was 10 years old and in the infirmary. He said through a sign language interpreter that he was suffering from injuries after being sodomized by a priest at the Montreal Institute for the Deaf.

“You can see that I’m sad, that I’m not smiling in any of these pictures,” Cormier said while signing to the interpreter.

Cormier said it was a painful period in his youth that led to difficulties in his relationship with his future wife and life in general.

It’s allegations like this that are at the heart of a class action lawsuit that’s finally before the courts.
