A trial for a man accused of several indecent assaults involving former residential school students has wrapped up in Battleford.
Closing arguments in the case against Paul Leroux wrapped up Tuesday at Queen’s Bench Court.
The trial, which ran from Oct. 15, was conducted by judge alone. A decision in the case is expected to come down Nov. 5.
Leroux was a dormitory supervisor with the Beauval Indian Residential School and faced over a dozen counts of indecent assault, with the allegations stemming back to the 1960s. The incidents were alleged to have taken place over a period of about seven years.
