STATEMENT

Carole Deschamps

550 Lemay Unit #4

Cornwall Ontario 

My name is Carol Deschamps I am currently married with two children. I am a nurses aid (r.p.n.)currently attending college furthering my education. 

I first met Ken Seguin twenty years ago or more when he lived in Riverdale. Hewas probation officer to my brothers. I became good friends with Ken Seguin and overthe years I attended his residence often to visit Ken and to visit my brother Gerry Renshaw when he lived at Ken's in Summerstown. 

I remember one particular time when I went to Ken's home in Summerstown I observed Claude Shaver and Malcolm MacDonald visiting at Ken's. The two of them were in the process of leaving and I had to move my car so that they could get out. The time that I saw Claude Shaver and Malcolm MacDonald would have been when Ken first bought the place in Summerstown. 

Malcolm MacDonald was always at Ken's house. Malcolm is a lawyer who has represented my brothers. I have known Malcolm as long as I have known Ken. 

Father Charles MacDonald was there almost everytime that I would show up. We would joke about him being a part of the furniture. It seemed when Father Charlie was at Ken's there was not the same attitude of friendliness you would feel unwelcome. 

I got along well with Ken, he was upfront with me and told me a long time ago that he was a homosexual. Ken once told me that he and Father Charles MacDonald were homosexual lovers. Ken also told me that Malcolm MacDonald was his lover. Malcolm and Ken were always together. I remember that Ken would take young offenders fishing with him all the time.

I remember that Gerry, Mark Menard and Pitou (Harvey Berry Jr.) were at Ken's alot. I know that Ken Seguin would often lend money to probation clients. Ken would also take them on field trips and give them booze. It was well known that if you wanted to party go to Ken Seguin's home in Summerstown. 

Malcolm and Ken shared alot of the same clients. They had a good set up, both in the same building.

I believe that there was a nice little pedophile ring going until Perry Dunlop cam along. I believe that alot of people knew what was going on with Malcolm, Ken and Father Charles. They tried very hard to keep this case hidden from everyone

I remember about four or five years ago XXXX wanted to lodge a complaint that he had been assaulted at Alfred training school. He wrote out a twenty page statement and forwarded it to his legal council Malcolm MacDonald. I kept calling Malcolm about the file as I knew that it was bothering my brother. Malcolm stalled continually and never did proceed with the file. I called Malcolm's office once a week for approximatley six months to one year to ask what was being done on the file. He would say the file has been sent or the secretary would not let me speak to him. 

I recall being at a baptism or a first communion where XXX got up and left the church he turned white as a ghost, he was visibly shaken he was sweating and appeared very upset, XXX did not come back into the church. I went outside after the service and XXX was sitting in my car. I asked him what was wrong," are you sick?" He stated no I just want to go home. This occurred at Blessed Sacrament Church about ten years ago. I remember that XXXX was the priest at the alter on the occasion where XXX left. 

I think that victims will come out of the woodwork when this case gets going.

Children need to be protected from these homosexual pedophiles.
