A retired Anglican priest with ties to Paris was found guilty Tuesday of sexual offenses dating back 30 years.

Rev. George Ferris, 66, of Cambridge appeared at the Ontario Court of Justice in Brantford on Nov. 19 and was found guilty of two counts of sexual assault and one count of sexual exploitation for offences that took place in Paris between 1983 and 1989.

During that time, Ferris was serving as minister of St. James Anglican Church in Paris.

Ferris is scheduled to appear for sentencing on Jan. 28.

Ferris will also stand trial for three more charges of sexual assault on three different complainants. A second trial will commence in Brantford on Nov. 28.
