An Ontario Court Justice ruled William Marshall will serve six months house arrest in relation to two new sexual assault charges.
Marshall is a retired priest and teacher who was sentenced to 2 years in prison after pleading guilty to sexually abusing 16 boys and one girl at schools in Toronto, Sudbury and Windsor.
He plead guilty to two additional counts of indecent assault stemming from groping incidents with two boys in Saskatoon in 1959 and 1961.
He was released from his previous conviction last October, having served two-thirds of his sentence.
Several demonstrators, including two victims of Marshall, protested outside the Windsor courthouse this morning demanding stiffer sentences for priests who abuse children.
