WINNIPEG – A second man testified Tuesday that he was sexually abused as an altar boy three decades ago by a priest who would become the top Canadian cleric in the Orthodox Church in America.
“I listened to everything he said,” the 39-year-old man testified at Seraphim Storheim’s trial.
“My mother clearly mentioned ‘Listen to everything he says.’”
Storheim has pleaded not guilty to sexually assaulting the man and the man’s brother. Neither complainant can be identified under a publication ban.
Both men have told the trial they were sent by their single mother at different times in 1985 to live and work with Storheim at a church in Winnipeg. They were both pre-teens at the time.
