VICTORIA – Day two in the trial of a former priest charged with sexually abusing children picked up where Monday left off.

Former St. Joseph the Worker altar boy, Chris Duggan, continued his testimony telling the court he knew Jacobs well. The 26-year-old testified that he witnessed contact between Jacobs and altar boys but was not a victim of sexual abuse.

Duggan also told the court that Jacobs would invite altar boys back to the rectory basement for movie nights after mass.

Following Duggan, Jacobs first accuser took the stand.
