Basilian priest Father Kenneth O’Keefe has a courtdate this morning in Hull, Quebec: 9 am, courtroom #4, to set a trial date. Father O’Keefe is currently serving a nine month conditional sentence after pleading guilty in Ottawa this past September. The latter guilty plea related to O’Keefe’s sexual abuse of one of his former students at St. Pius X in Ottawa, Ontario.
Will there be s sudden guilty plea in Hull today? or, will he battle this out in court? We shall see. Is there a sweet deal in Quebec IF he pleads guilty? I have no idea, but, we shall see in due course.
I encourage anyone who is within driving distance to attend. Under normal circumstances I would be there but I have a prior commitment.
Please keep the complainant in your prayers, and please pass along any news you see or hear of the outcome.
Enough for now,
Sylvia
