A former Windsor priest accused of sexually abusing at least a dozen early-adolescent girls in the late 1980s and early 1990s was found guilty Monday of three of 18 sex charges he was facing in Sarnia.
Gabriele Del Bianco, 57, will be sentenced in Superior Court May 14 and will remain out of custody until then.
The trial began in October with four of Del Bianco’s alleged victims testifying in court. Del Bianco was represented by Windsor lawyer Andrew Bradie.
The former priest was acquitted of sexual misconduct charges involving two women, but found guilty by Justice Joseph Donohue for his actions involving the other two. He was guilty of one count of gross indecency against one victim and counts of sexual assault against the other.
