REGINA -- A 68-year-old former Catholic priest who asked for leniency after admitting to having sex with underage prostitutes inside the church rectory got his wish yesterday.
Pedro Surtida Aldea was given a 12-month conditional sentence by Justice Ted Zarzeczny, who said he was satisfied the former priest was not likely to reoffend.
Zarzeczny said he hoped the case would send a warning to others that society and the courts will show zero tolerance for those convicted of such predatory behaviour.
