After paying out millions of dollars in damages to more than 100 victims of sexual abuse, the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Moncton may owe even more money.
Three new lawsuits have been filed in recent weeks by victims of sexual abuse against the priests accused of molesting them.
The lawsuits involve former priest Yvon Arsenault, who is serving a four-year prison sentence after he pleaded guilty to sex crimes against nine young boys, and Paul Breau, former chaplain at the University of Moncton and Dorchester Penitentiary, whose trial date has yet to be set.
The most recent civil suit was filed Wednesday against both Arsenault and Breau.
One individual says they sexually abused him at St. Joseph’s Parish in Shediac in the early 1980s, when he was between 13 and 16 years old.
