Priest Sentenced to Eight Years for Sex Abuse Canada.com January 22, 2010 http://www.canada.com/news/Former+priest+sentenced+eight+years+abuse/2472810/story.html TRACADIE-SHEILA, N.B. — A former Roman Catholic priest was sentenced Friday to eight years in prison for 18 sex-related offences dating back more than 50 years in New Brunswick. Levi Noel, 84, pleaded guilty in October for the sexual abuse incidents involving as many as 10 people, many of whom were children at the time, from 1958 to 1981. Some of the charges included gross indecency, indecent assault and assault. Noel, who is from the Acadian Peninsula about 200 kilometres north of Moncton, retired from the priesthood decades ago. A news conference will be held later Friday where some of the victims will speak, said Robert Talach, their lawyer. The victims have yet to decide if they want to seek further compensation from Noel.
