STATEMENT

XXXXX [ C -8]

XXX Cornwall

Ontario

D.O.B. 26 Dec1964

My name is XXXXX [ C- 8] I am 32 years of age. I currently own and operate a XXXXXXXXX. I live in XXXXX Ontario and have resided there for the last 16 years. Ken Seguin's house is located two doors east of my residence.

I was sexually assaulted by Father Charles MacDonald the St. Columban's Church when I was 12-13 years of age. I was an alterboy at the time and attending Bishop MacDonell School. I remember that Father Charles MacDonald was the head priest of St. Columban's at the time. I remember that I would practice serving mass during the week nights and then serve on Sunday usually at 11 o'clock mass. I can remember that Father Charles was the first person to ever sexually assault me. I have a hard time remembering if it was in the sacristy area of the church or in the parish house. One thing that I do remember is that he did assault me. He came over to one time when we were alone and he began to rub my arms and rub up and down my legs. He then grabbed me by the bag. I was in shock I left the church. I quit going to church after my father died, I would have been about 15 years old at the time.

Not long after Father Charlie assaulted me I was assaulted by Marcel Lalonde during Grade 7-8 at Bishop MacDonell school. Marcel would always pick me out of class to go and make soup that was sold at lunch time in the lunch room for twenty-five cents a bowl. He used to take me to Massena with his girlfriend Dianne. One night he asked me to sleep over after we got back from bowling. Marcel ended up in bed with me. He reached over and started playing with my penis and bag, he was rubbing me all over. He masturbated himself and then fell asleep with me. When I woke up the next morning he was still in bed with me. It was common knowledge in school that Marcel Lalonde diddled boys. Marcel told my mother that he wanted to be my big brother after my dad died. Marcel sexually assaulted me on more that one occasion. There is no doubt in my mind that Marcel Lalonde is a pedophile.

I knew Ken Seguin for years. I remember that when he moved here that there was always alot of activity at the residence. Ken was a good host, there was always lots of beer.

When Father Charlie MacDonald came down to visit Ken, after Ken moved in, I knew what he was all about.

I remember parties at Ken Seguin's house and Malcolm MacDonald's cottage on Stanley Island. Some of the people I remember being there were:

1. Ken Seguin

2. Malcolm MacDonald

3. Bishop Eugene LaRocque

4. Doug Seguin

5. Ron Wilson

6. Father Charles MacDonald

7. Father Kevin Maloney-seen him at Ken's a couple of times.

8. Stuart McDonald

9. Father Bernard Cameron

10. Claude Shaver

11. Murray MacDonald

12. Mark Menard

13. David Latrielle

14. Gino ?- was always with David Latrielle

15. Daniel Flipson

16. Sylvain Flipson

17. Pitou(P2) Harvey Berry Jr.

18 . Robert Renshaw

19. Fred Renshaw

20. Dale Crowder

21. Al Laplante

22. Fern Touchette

23. Cara Berry

24. Joss Van Deepen

25. Brian McDonald

26. Don Warden

27. and several others

Malcolm MacDonald has shown me several pictures of nude males some that are young and some that are adults. I remember one time when I was going to Florida with Malcolm and Ron he showed me several pictures of young kids nude, it would make me sick to look at these pictures. I think Malcolm was trying to get me.

Malcolm brought male prostitutes to his cottage a couple of times. He would say my boyfriend from Florida is coming up. He would indicate to me that I could come over if I wanted and join in the fun. It was an offer that I never accepted.

I lived with Ron Leroux for about 10 years. Ron Leroux was sexually assaulted by priests when he was young. He would break down sometimes when he was drinking and tell me.

Alot of the guys would get together at Tim Horton's or Harv's Diner on Pitt street for lunch or coffee.

Ken Seguin, Malcolm MacDonald, Father Charles MacDonald, Ron Wilson and Claude Shaver were all good buddies that would do anything for each other.

I did not see Shaver around Ken's as much as the others. I do remember one night, about two years after Ken moved into his house in Summerstown, there was a dinner party. I attended this dinner and I remember that also in attendance were Bishop Eugene Larocque,

Chief Claude Shaver, Malcolm MacDonald, Ron Leroux and Ken.

Joss VanDeepen knew what was going on at Ken Seguin's.

I would often go over to Ken Seguin's house and there were young boys there. Malcom MacDonald quit his Law practice because of all of this.

Ken killed himself because he was the weak link in the chain. I knew this guy was after him for money.

My life has been messed up since Father Charlie MacDonald sexually assaulted me. It got worse when Marcel Lalonde assaulted me. I would like to heal and I would like to make sure that other children do not have to go through what I went through when I was growing up. I would Like both Marcel Lalonde and Father Charles MacDonald to be charged for sexually assaulting me.

I recognize the following people from pictures that Perry Dunlop showed me. They are as follows:

#2. Claude Shaver

#6. Father Kevin Maloney- I recall being at suppers

#7. Stuart McDonald

#8. Bishop Eugene Larocque

#9. Stuart McDonald

#10. Andre Pommier

#11. Father Kevin Maloney

#12. Bishop Eugene Larocque

#15. Father David Ostler

#16. Ron Wilson

#17. Murray MacDonald

#18. Malcolm MacDonald

#20. Father Charles MacDonald

#21(b) Father David Ostler

I remember one time when the Lancaster Ontario Provincial Police came to do a search warrant on Ron Leroux's residence, which is XXXX . I had called and complained about firearms that Ron Leroux had that may have been not registered properly. The officers came when Ron was away in Florida and conducted a search. I let them in because I had a key. I recall that they found an old rusty 22 caliber rifle. During the search they also located a large brown briefcase\suitcase full of video tapes. I had never seen these tapes before, and I do not believe that they were Ron's. Whoever placed these tapes there knew that it was a special location, a sort of secret hiding spot upstairs. The officers took these tapes with them and I have never seen them again.

The reason that I am coming forward is that these men who molest children have got to be stopped. I knew that eventually this would all come out and this group of pedophiles would be stopped.

I make this statement of my own free will.
