A former Windsor catholic priest and teacher has begun 2 years in prison for molesting 17 children. 88 year old William Hodgson Marshall was handcuffed and led out of the courtroom after the sentence. Some of his victims and families applauded. The abuse happened between 1952 to 1986 while Marshall taught at schools in Sudbury, Toronto and Windsor. The judge called Marshall a “wolf in sheep’s clothing” and “he abused his position of power and trust to fulfill his lusts.” Marshall’s health is failing as he suffers from cancer, has difficulty walking and has no feeling in his hands. Marshall will be on probation for 3 years following his release.
