NEW WESTMINSTER, B.C. -- An elderly man convicted of abusing native children in Mission and Kamloops has been given three years in prison. Gerald Moran, 75, was convicted of abusing the children at native residential schools decades ago. Moran was charged after an RCMP investigation looked at physical and sexual abuse in 14 church-run schools across the province. Moran, sentenced in B.C. Supreme Court in New Westminster, was a boys' supervisor in schools in Kamloops and Mission.
The charges resulted from work done by the RCMP Native Indian Residential Schools Task Force, created in December 1994 to investigate complaints of historic physical and sexual abuse at the church-run residential schools around the province.
