	Priest, Charged with Sex Crimes, Says He's Innocent Ottawa Sun September 14, 2007 http://ottsun.canoe.ca/News/BreakingNews/2007/09/14/4496609.html An 84-year-old Eastern Ontario priest says he is innocent of sex-related charges laid earlier this week in connection with alleged incidents from about 50 years ago. OPP announced this morning that they have charged Father Lucien Lussier three counts of indecent assault after allegations of incidents over several years in the mid-to-late 1950s in the Alexandria area. When contacted by the Sun today, Lussier proclaimed his innocence. "The charges are false," Lussier said, adding that he is surprised about the allegations. "The truth is I'm innocent." Police last month began investigating a complaint, which alleged Lussier sexually assaulted a teen boy between 1954 and 1960. On Tuesday, police arrested and charged Lussier with with three counts of indecent assault on a male. He was released on an undertaking and is to appear in Alexandria court on Nov. 7.
