SARNIA, ON – A Catholic priest’s former lover accused him of preferring young teenage girls after learning she was pregnant, a Superior Court trial heard Friday.
Former priest Gabriele DelBianco, 57, is on trial for on 16 sexual offences involving four teenage girls during the 1980s.
A woman in her early 40s testified DelBianco fathered a child with her when she was in her early 20s, but their romantic relationship started when she was 15 or 16 and he was 29.
He fondled her in his car, but they did not have sex until she was 20, she said, adding she felt like the luckiest person because he had chosen her.
By the time she was 21, they were a secret couple, she said, and she stayed at his church residence several times a week.
