EDMONTON – A former altar boy who alleges he was sexual abused by a priest and a church organist has filed two $3.4-million lawsuits against the Catholic Archdiocese of Edmonton.
The alleged victim, a 51-year-old man now living in Vancouver, claims the sexual abuse happened in the early and mid-’70s, when he was a member of the congregation at St. Joseph’s Basilica in Edmonton.
According to one of two statements of claim filed Jan. 6, the man said he was initially sexually assaulted by a person employed at St. Joseph’s as an organist and music director.
