The release of a Montreal priest accused of sexually assaulting children has prompted swift backlash.
56-year-old Brian Boucher is facing several charges related to the sexual abuse of children.
He was released on bail on Thursday with several conditions, including staying away from minors.
The Committee of Victims of Priests says the fact that Boucher was transferred from church to church was a sign something was wrong.
The group’s members believe it’s time for an investigation into the upper echelons of Quebec’s Catholic Church.
