QUEBEC — A Quebec priest has been sentenced to three years in prison for sexually abusing 13 boys over more than a decade.
The abuse took place between 1973 and 1985 when Raymond-Marie Lavoie was a teacher at the now-defunct St-Alphonse Seminary near Quebec City.
He was responsible at the time for overseeing the dormitory.
Lavoie received the sentence in a Quebec City courtroom today.
The Crown had been seeking an eight-year prison term and will appeal the sentence.
Lavoie is in his early 70s.
He pleaded guilty last summer and said he was sorry for the crimes.

It is about time - as a grandparent I have watched our kids (who were allowed to fail although I do remember some nagging on our part) learn, I have watched our children now micro-manage their children. A big part of it is the fact that there are predators out there and an extreme reluctance on the parents part to alllow freedom that might result in the children becoming victims.
