Former archbishop Kenneth (Seraphim) Storheim was found guilty of one count of sexually molesting a young boy — and cleared of a charge he molested the boy’s twin — in incidents nearly 30 years ago.
Storheim, who went on to become Canadian Archbishop of the Orthodox Church in America, was accused of molesting two pre-teen twin brothers in the mid-1980s when he was the rector at Holy Trinity Sobor in Winnipeg.
But on Friday, a court found him guilty of molesting only one of the boys.
Storheim previously admitted hugging the brothers and engaging one of the boys in a conversation about puberty — ”One of the stupider things I have done,” he said — but denied accusations he engaged in physically inappropriate behaviour.
