KINGSTON, Ont. — A local priest was convicted Friday of sexual assault involving a teenage boy 10 years ago.

Before a packed courtroom, Superior Court Justice Timothy Ray ruled Rene Paul Emile Labelle, 64, guilty of sexual assault, sexual exploitation and invitation to sexual touching, following four days of testimony.

Labelle had pleaded not guilty on all counts and testified in his own defence on Wednesday, denying the allegations.
