	Cape Breton Priest Changes Story on Sexual Assault By John McKiggan John McKiggan’s Abuse Claims Blog September 10, 2007 http://abuseclaims.wordpress.com/2007/09/11/cape-breton-priest-changes-story-on-sexual-assault/ Canada — Catholic priest and convicted pedophile Claude Richard has changed his story about how times he sexually abused his victim. Richard pleaded guilty in June to assaulting the boy 20 to 30 times over a four-month period in 1987 but during his sentencing hearing Richard claimed to have had a "one night stand" with his 14 year old victim. Claude Richard has pleaded guilty or been convicted of dozens of charges of sexually abusing children, many of whom were alter boys in various parishes throughout Cape Breton. 15 years ago I sued Claude Richard and his pedophile twin brother, Clair Richard on behalf of a dozen of their sexual abuse victims. During his examination for discovery Claude Richard denied, under oath, having sexually abused my clients… after he had already pleaded guilty to criminal charges of sexual assault against the same victims! I have to wonder if there is some genetic connection between being a peophile and being a patholigical liar!
