WINNIPEG – A Winnipeg man who as a boy befriended an Orthodox archbishop says allegations that he sexually assaulted two brothers are “crazy.”
Jason Rodgers told court that he first met Seraphim Storheim in 1985 when he was 10 years old.
Rodgers says Storheim befriended him and used to entertain neighbourhood children at his parish home in Winnipeg’s north end.
Rodgers says he confided in Storheim about problems he was having.
Storheim is accused of sexually assaulting two pre-teen boys when they visited him in Winnipeg three decades ago.
