SARNIA – Former Catholic priest Gabriele DelBianco, 57, was convicted Monday on three of 18 charges related to sexual misconduct involving four teenage girls.
Sentencing has been set for May 14. The convictions relate to two of the women, now in their 40s.
Superior Court Justice Jospeh Donohue found DelBianco guilty of one count of gross indecency against one victim and counts of sexual assault against the other victim.
A pre-sentence report was ordered and DelBianco remains out of custody.
The key issues were possible consent to sexual activity and the reliability of the evidence, Donohue said.
