A well-known Roman Catholic priest has been accused of sexually assaulting three victims.

Exactly 25 years to the day of his ordination, Monsignor Robert Borne, a Pembroke native, was charged in relation to incidents alleged to have occurred between 1977 and 1995.

Actually, since the article was last updated a year ago, it is at least a year old, and thus not news. Old articles do not meet the guidelines for the News forums.

But I will help you out and provide a current article on the case:
Monsignor Robert Borne was in court June 14 to hear the arguments of Assistant Crown attorney John Pepper and his lawyer Robert Carew meant to help determine if there is enough evidence to proceed to trial on the various sex-related charges against the 61-year-old Roman Catholic priest.

The defence did not argue about the gross indecency and indecent assault charges, and Borne could stand trial on the charges as early as this fall.

He was facing 19 charges including gross indecency, sexual exploitation, indecent assault against a male and breach of trust, in connection with incidents that are alleged to have occurred between 1977 and 1993, although five were withdrawn or dismissed by the Crown this week.

Do you have some insight about the case which might spur discussion?

Thank you so much. Of all the news articles to choose from, I chose the only one that was from a year ago! :o

Please excuse my error, I’d meant to post the current story and chose incorrectly from google news.

Oh right, gosh that seems so obvious. I would have thought you were merely digging up negative stories to cast the Church in a bad light. Maybe then try to conclude that the Church’s moral position against thing like abortion are false. If that’s not your motivation then I look forward to positive stories from you too.
