Kenneth Gibbs was handed a three-and-a-half-year sentence today for indecently assaulting five now-grown women when they were girls and he was an Anglican priest in Chapleau and Elliot Lake.

Gibbs, now 77, was convicted last month of eight indecent assaults that occurred during the 1960s and 70s.

Gibbs fondled the children inappropiately, sometimes telling them it was a special "tickle game" that was never to be discussed with others.

He was at Elliot Lake's St. Peter the Apostle Church from 1971 to 1980 and at Chapleau's St. John's Anglican Church from 1966 to 1971.

The crown had sought a five-to-seven-year sentence.
