The Diocese of London is reacting to more allegations against a Chatham priest.
Father Linus Bastien, 85, is facing five counts of Indecent Assault and Gross indecency. The most recent allegation comes from St. Paul’s Catholic Church in LaSalle.
Bishop of London Ronald Fabbro says they are reaching out to the parishes of the victims. “We’re trying to do everything we can in order that this not happen again and i think our people need to know that our churches are going to provide a safe environment for our children.”
Bastien will answer to the charges in court on November 1st.
