QUEBEC -- A Roman Catholic priest was sentenced to a year in prison Tuesday for sexually assaulting seven students 23 years ago. Quebec court Judge Pierre Rousseau refused to allow Rev. Gilles Noreau, 66, to serve his sentence under house arrest. The sexual acts took place at Le Petit Seminaire de Quebec, where Noreau taught between 1965 and 1988. He had been suspended as a priest, pending the outcome of the trial.
