Two women who say they were victimized by Rev. Barry McGrory at Holy Cross Parish in the 1970s want the Ottawa Police Service to re-open a criminal investigation of the Catholic priest.

The women have both contacted lawyer Robert Talach, who will formally ask the police to launch a new investigation.

In Canada, there is no statute of limitations on sexual assault.

“They want the justice that was denied them in past,” said Talach, a London, Ont. lawyer who has represented dozens of clergy sexual abuse victims.
