WINNIPEG – The archbishop of an orthodox church has pleaded not guilty to charges he sexually assaulted two boys in Winnipeg.
Seraphim Storheim, who is on leave from his position at the head of the church in Canada, pleaded not guilty to sexually assaulting two teen brothers 30 years ago.
Storheim, who was charged in 2010, is on a leave of absence from his position as the head of the Orthodox Church of America in Canada.
One of the accusers, who is now 39 years old, had a tough time remembering details of his time as an altar boy for the church in many cities, including Winnipeg.
The man said for a few months he lived at the Orthodox Church in Winnipeg, where Storheim also lived.
