A former bishop of Edmonton’s Anglican diocese says he has no recollection of ever meeting a priest accused of sexually assaulting teen boys at a city youth jail in the 1980s.
Ken Genge, who served as bishop from 1988 to 1996, said Sunday he read news of the arrest of Father Gordon William Dominey, but it didn’t trigger any memories. Pictures of the priest published over the weekend also failed to register.
“His name is vaguely familiar, but I don’t remember him,” Genge said from his home in Langley, B.C. “Obviously, it’s a very serious thing.”
Edmonton police say two people came forward in September saying they had been sexually assaulted by a priest employed at the Edmonton Youth Development Centre in the 1980s.
