BATTLEFORD, Sask. – A Saskatchewan judge will rule next week on whether a former supervisor at a residential school molested several students in the 1960s.

Paul Leroux, who is 72, has pleaded not guilty to indecent assault involving about a dozen former students at the Beauval Indian Residential School in the 1960s.

Leroux, who represented himself at his trial, denied all the charges against him in his final arguments on Tuesday.

He said one incident of sexual abuse couldn’t possibly have happened because the room one complainant alleges he was molested in didn’t exist at the time.
