A former residential school worker in northern Saskatchewan has been found guilty of indecently assaulting young boys nearly five decades ago.
Paul Leroux, now 73, was a dormitory supervisor at the Beauval Residential School in the 1950s and 1960s.
He was accused of molesting 14 boys. Reporters in the court house Tuesday reported that the judge on the case found Leroux guilty on ten counts of indecent assault. Queen’s Bench Justice Murray Acton delivered his decision at the Battleford courthouse Tuesday afternoon.
There were 17 charges altogether, including indecent assault and gross indecency. The allegations included sexual touching, oral and anal sex, and bringing boys to his room where they were given alcohol and shown pornography.
