More victims of a former Port Dover priest convicted of sexual abuse will get a chance to have their say in court in Chatham today. The sentencing hearing for 84-year-old Charles Sylvestre continues from last month.

Sylvestre has pleaded guilty to 47 counts of sex abuse. Ron Pickersgill, of the London diocese, says Bishop Ronald Fabbro has begun the process to get Sylvestre defrocked as victims are demanding.

He adds three priests representing the diocese will be in court for the hearing.

Sylvestre is to be sentenced October 6th.
