A trial date has been set for former Cornwall school teacher and thrice convicted molester Marcel Lalonde:
27-30 June 2016: TRIAL Cornwall, Ontario courthouse (29 Second St. W.)
There is also a courtdate a few months prior to trial – a “status check”:
09 February 2016: status check (on June trial) Cornwall, Ontario courthouse (29 Second St. W.)
The trial date of course is the important date.
Those who are familiar with the Cornwall Ontario sex abuse scandal may recall that Lalonde was a good friend of Ken Seguin an ex-seminarian and former probation office at the heart of the Cornwall sex abuse scandal. Seguin committed suicide November 1993. There have been numerous out of court settlements to men alleging sex abuse at the hands of Ken Seguin. These current charges date to the Fall of 1989 – meaning they post-date the botched Cornwall Police Service into allegations against Lalonde in January 1989.
Please keep the complainant and his family in your prayers.

I have been on a hunt virtually all day long for a very particular document relating to Brother Lawrence Lambert fic and the Brothers of Christian Instruction /St. Mary’s International School sex abuse scandal. You know what that’s like to hunt high and lo like that. Well, I was about to give up, and suddenly ….there it was 🙂 A relief. I am going to call it a day now – will post tomorrow. I have commitments from early morning until mid afternoon, so sometime after that I will get it posted.

A beautiful day today. This is the first day of the year that I have ventured outdoors without a winter coat or jacket. Love it 🙂
Enough for now,
