	Gibbs Guilty of 2 More Sex Offences By Linda Richardson The Sault Star January 8, 2010 http://www.saultstar.com/ArticleDisplay.aspx?e=2252541 Former Anglican priest Kenneth Gibbs, imprisoned last month for molesting five young girls decades ago, has been convicted of two more dated sexual offences. Gibbs, 77, pleaded guilty earlier this week to two counts of indecent assault in a Timmins courtroom. The offences occurred in Chapleau where he served as minister of St. John's Anglican Church from 1966 to 1971. Assistant Crown attorney Gerrit Verbeek told The Sault Star the offences involved a girl who was five or six and another who was 11 or 12. Gibbs was sentenced to a further four months in prison. He was given two-for-one credit for the month he has spent in solitary confinement at Monteith jail. That means two months will be tacked on to the three-and-half-year prison term he received Dec. 3 in Sault Ste. Marie. Although Gibbs was a sentenced prisoner, he was given credit for the time in custody since his arrest in December on the latest charges because "technically his sentence hadn't started,'' Verbeek said. The Belleville, Ont., resident was convicted in November of eight counts of indecent assault involving five young female parishioners. The sex offences occurred in the 1960s and 1970s in Chapleau and in Elliot Lake, whereGibbswasministerof St. Peter the Apostle church.
