Father Phil Jacobs has been found guilty of touching a young person for a sexual purpose, but not guilty on three other counts of molestation.
Justice Miriam Gropper handed down her verdict this morning in B.C. Supreme Court after a trial that spanned December and January.
Three young men and former students of St. Joseph the Worker School testified that Jacobs molested and sexually touched them during his tenure as parish priest at the Saanich Catholic school in the late 1990s and early 2000s.
