A woman who claims she was sexually abused by now dead priest Charles Sylvestre during his time in Pain Court is expected to begin her civil case in a London courtroom today.

Kelly Grenier is making the allegations. Diocese of London spokesperson Mark Adkinson says it’s still possible that the sides will reach a settlement before the trial concludes.

“Our lawyers have been talking to the victim’s lawyers pretty constantly and consistently,” says Adkinson. “We might settle Monday, we might go through the whole case. We’ve had various scenarios that have played out, it’s hard to predict.”

Adkinson declined to comment on how much Grenier is asking for. More than 70 civil suits have been filed against Charles Sylvestre so far.
