The trial of a Roman Catholic priest charged with sexual offences against three teens in the late 1990s is underway in Victoria.
Father Phil Jacobs was a priest in the Roman Catholic Diocese of Victoria at the time of the alleged abuses in the late 1990s.
Jacobs found work in B.C. despite previous allegations involving boys in the U.S.
He resigned his position in Victoria in 2002 after it was made public that he was dismissed from a church in Columbus, Ohio during the mid-1990s following allegations of misconduct there.
