The archbishop of Halifax-Yarmouth is condemning the actions of a former Roman Catholic priest who pleaded guilty to molesting six children decades ago.
Albert LeBlanc, 83, pleaded guilty to six counts of indecent assault Monday in Yarmouth provincial court. He will be sentenced on Aug. 17.
Some of the crimes date back to when LeBlanc was a priest in Yarmouth County in the 1970s.
“Sexual abuse of children is always wrong, and these criminal acts by Albert LeBlanc are to be condemned,” Archbishop Anthony Mancini said in a statement.
