It appears that Ontario is still a great place to molest children, and get off with a slap on the wrist with a wet noodle. This fucking creep, Rev. Charles Sylvestre molests 47 girls (that we know of) over a more than 30 year period (that we know of) and gets 3 years!!!?That means, with the system the way it is, provided he gets early release, he most likely will serve a grand total of about 2 years in prison.
Not a high price for him to pay for more than 30 years of diddling kids! I read in another story that this scumbag was known as 'Father Feeler' in his parish....which once again confirms what I said long ago; "sexual abuse is often the secret that everyone knows about, yet does nothing about." These abused kids will have to deal with this for the rest of their lives, in a world that doesn't comprehend how sexual abuse affects a person, while the priest will be free in a couple of years to take up where he left off.
Note how distraught he looks as he leaves the courthouse in this photo.
