Two men have told court that they were sexually assaulted by a Catholic priest as teenagers in the same bed at a church rectory in Richmond.
Barry McGrory, 85, a former Ottawa priest, faces four charges based on two historic sex abuse complaints dating to the late 1960s.
Charges in connection with a third complainant were withdrawn last year after the man died of cancer.
McGrory, who was officially removed from the priesthood last year by the Vatican, has pleaded not guilty.
Ontario Superior Court Justice Michelle O’Bonsawin ruled Tuesday that Crown attorney John Semenoff will be allowed to use similar fact evidence as part of the case against McGrory.
