A lawyer who represented three altar boys who were molested by Donald Grecco says he’s not surprised the defrocked Catholic priest now faces new sex-related charges involving young boys.

“It didn’t surprise me at all,” Rob Talach, of Ledroit Beckett Litigation Lawyers, a London, Ont., law firm, said Friday.

“I sensed there were more (victims). This is a confirmation of where my gut was all along.”

The Haldimand detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police this week arrested 75-year-old Grecco following an investigation into sexual abuse complaints involving two boys dating back almost 40 years.

Police allege the incidents occurred between 1977 and 1982 involving two boys ages 10 and 14 at locations in Niagara Falls, Haldimand County and the United States.
