A Windsor-area woman has stepped forward this week and alleged she was not only sexually abused as a teen by a former local priest, but also had a child by him.

She is among two more alleged victims who have come forward to join six women who are suing Gabriele Del Bianco, 54, who served at several area parishes between 1985 and 1994. The child is now 19 years of age and Del Bianco has legally admitted to being the father, according to London, Ont., lawyer Rod Dale, who is representing the women in this abuse case.

The majority are from Wallaceburg where Del Bianco was associate pastor at Our Lady Help of Christians.

Lambton County OPP have filed three charges of sexual assault against the former priest.

Another victim, who was not among the six, settled a week ago. Details of that settlement are not being released.
