The overdue inquiry into sexual abuse in Cornwall will be worth the time and expense, if it brings an end to that city's long nightmare.

Justice G. Normand Glaude faces a web of relationships and allegations no less complex than the one Justice John Gomery had to untangle in the sponsorship inquiry.

In 1992, a former altar boy complained of being assaulted more than two decades before by a Cornwall priest and probation officer.
