DURHAM -- An Ajax man has been charged after a woman was sexually assaulted during church-related counselling, including exorcisms, police said.    

Toronto police said that between May of 2011 and May of 2013 the suspect, a pastor at the United Spiritual Baptist Church on Midland Avenue in Scarborough, exploited a woman to whom he provided spiritual counselling. The sessions included performing exorcisms, police said.    

It’s alleged that during the sessions the woman was sexually assaulted. The suspect also convinced the woman to give him money and property, police said.    

Wayne Marlon Jones, 53, of Ajax is charged with sexual assault and three counts of fraud over $5,000.    

Mr. Jones is identified on the United Spiritual Baptist Church website as “Bishop Wayne Jones”. A biography on the site said Mr. Jones was born in Trinidad and Tobago and immigrated to Canada in 1984. The site says he was ordained as a minister in 1987 and the following year “pastured” his own congregation, called the Mt. Ararat Spiritual Baptist Church. He was consecrated as a Bishop in 1990, the site says.    

According to the website the church’s services include baptisms, weddings, Bible studies, programs for first-time offenders and Sunday services. There is no mention of exorcisms.    

The church is described as a “non-profit charitable organization whose main goal is to promote Christianity”.

A woman who answered a phone number listed on the site Wednesday refused to comment.    

Mr. Jones was charged with the offences he now faces in late August of 2014, but police said Wednesday they are concerned there may be more victims.    

Call police at 416-808-1400 or Crime Stoppers at 416-222-8477.

A Thought on "Victims of Legion awarded $20,000.00 for Sexual Abuse"

Seems like outdated article. 

But anyway, what is 20 thousand dollars to compensate for sexual abuse by the Founder of the Millionaires of Christi? A pittance! read my ´Fr. Marcial Maciel, Pedophile, Psychopath and Legion of Christ Founder´.

• To have your youth destroyed,
• to be plagued by guilt the rest of your life, 
• to be psycho sexually damaged -to be confused about your sexuality, 
• not to have received proper psychological treatment, 
• to have your abuse denied for decades and 
• to be called a liar and calumniator, 
• to have lost your faith in the Legion, in priests, in the Catholic Church, in Christ, in God…?
• To have your experience dragged before a commission to prove that you were really abused by Fr. Maciel, the commission not being impartial because there are Legionaries of Christ sitting on the tribunal, to have to be interviewed by members of Fr. Maciel´s order and perhaps by LC´s who were his close aides….who may have known about the abuses and did nothing? 
• And to call this charade justice and charity?

Thank you, Mother Legion, for your belated twenty pieces of silver

Victims of the Legion Awarded $20,000 For Sexual Abuse

January 12, 2015 ReGAIN 1 Comment Edit

MEXICO CITY (Reuters) – The Legionaries of Christ will pay more than $20,000 apiece to at least four victims sexually abused by the order’s Mexican founder, Father Marcial Maciel, three years after his death, a spokesman said on Thursday.
Maciel was an influential figure in the Roman Catholic Church who had the ear of the late Pope John Paul II.
But he died in 2008 at the age of 87, disgraced by allegations he sexually abused men and young boys, including a man who said he was Maciel’s son.
The Maciel scandal is just one in a series of revelations about priest sex abuse to rock the Catholic Church.
Founded by Maciel when he was in his early 20s, the Legion is a priestly order that runs private Catholic schools and charitable organizations in 22 countries via its network of 800 priests and 2,600 seminarians.
Accusations that Maciel lived a disturbing double-life, fathered children and was addicted to morphine-like drugs, have weakened the powerful order that boasted members of some of Mexico’s wealthiest families.
Despite years of allegations, Maciel was spared official condemnation until 2006 when Pope Benedict obliged him to retire to a life of “prayer and penitence.”
The payments of between $21,000 and $28,000 will be given to four or five victims and more compensation could follow, said Andreas Schoggl, a spokesman for the Legionaries of Christ in Vatican City.
“It’s a way to repair damage and hopefully it’s a way of healing,” Schoggl said.
The compensation payments are a result of a commission set up in 2010 by the Vatican to probe abuses by Maciel. The sums are modest compared to million-dollar payouts awarded to victims of priest abuse in the United States.
In the largest settlement of its kind, the Archdiocese of Los Angeles in 2007 agreed to pay $660 million to 500 victims of sexual abuse dating as far back as the 1940s. The U.S. church has paid $2 billion to victims since 1992.
Schoggl declined to provide details on how many people the commission has interviewed but said at least one of Maciel’s victims is from Mexico

Head of Jesuits defends New Vatican Sex Crimes Prosecutor

Top US Jesuit defends Vatican sex prosecutor

By NICOLE WINFIELD
Associated Press VATICAN CITY (AP) - The head of the Jesuits in the United States defended the Vatican's new sex crimes prosecutor Tuesday, saying he had virtually no role in the order's handling of a notorious pedophile now serving a 25-year prison sentence.
The Rev. Timothy Kesicki, president of the U.S. Jesuit Conference, spoke to The Associated Press after The Boston Globe reported that the prosecutor, the Rev. Robert Geisinger, failed to report the abuser to police when he was the second

Two American Priest to Vatican Protection of Minors

Pope appoints two US priests to help tackle sexual abuse of minors

Pope Francis appointed two U.S. priests to top positions at the Vatican for dealing with the sexual abuse of minors.

The pope named U.S. Fr. Robert Oliver to be the new secretary of the Pontifical Commission for the Protection of Minors,

 and appointed Jesuit Fr. Robert Geisinger to replace Oliver as the promoter of justice at the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith -- the Vatican's chief prosecutor of sex abuse crimes.

The Vatican made the announcement Wednesday.
Oliver fills a new full-time position of secretary for the pontifical commission, which Pope Francis established in December.

A Vatican source told Catholic News Service there would be another announcement "soon" of more new members to be added to the commission, as it aims to expand the number of representatives from around the world, especially from Africa and Asia.
The commission, which currently has eight members, including a survivor of clerical sexual abuse, mental health professionals and experts in civil and church law, is tasked with laying out a pastoral approach to helping victims and preventing abuse.
The pope has said he wants the commission to help the church develop better policies and procedures for protecting minors.
Oliver, a Boston priest and canon lawyer, worked on the abuse crisis in the church in his home archdiocese and at the Vatican as the promoter of justice since his appointment there in February 2013.
As secretary of the Vatican commission on protecting minors, the priest again will be assisting Cardinal Sean O'Malley of Boston, the head of the commission.
Before he was appointed to the Vatican, Oliver had served as a judge and promoter of justice in Boston tribunals and as a consultant to the Boston archdiocesan review board, a body that advises O'Malley in assessing accusations of child sexual abuse by members of the clergy and in determining the suitability of an accused priest for ministry.
Born in New York in 1960, he was ordained to the priesthood for the Boston archdiocese in 2000 and is a member of the Brotherhood of Hope. He earned his doctorate in canon law from The Catholic University of America and a doctorate in theology from the Pontifical Gregorian University in Rome. He has served as a judge, taught, developed policy and offered counsel as a canonical adviser.


Geisinger will replace Oliver as promoter of justice in the doctrinal congregation -- a position similar to a prosecuting attorney in a civil court. The position also involves monitoring the procedures that national bishops' conferences have in place for dealing with abuse accusations and handling the dismissal from the priesthood of those guilty of sexual abuse.
A member of the Chicago-Detroit Province, the Jesuit priest has been serving in Rome since 2001 as general procurator for the Society of Jesus -- the chief in-house canonical adviser to the Jesuit superior general in Rome.
Born in Parma, Ohio, in 1958, Geisinger received degrees in English literature, philosophy, canon law and a master of divinity degree.
He has a background in teaching and he worked as associate chancellor of the Chicago archdiocese and as a presiding judge on the archdiocese's metropolitan tribunal.
He also once worked as a news director of a radio station in Nome, Alaska, before he entered the Society of Jesus in 1981. In the 1970s, he worked as an assistant manager of Chicago's Granada Theater.

O'Reilly Sentence in Chile - Two or three sides of the coin

First off, the sentence is similar to Fr Maciel' Vatican sentence in 2006 =  after all the investigations and testimonies he is guilty but there are attenuating circumstances; let's give him a slap on the hand.

Secondly, if he is guilty he deserves a  harsher sentence;
If he is not guilty he deserves to be free.

Seems that the message the justice system in Chile is giving us that:

• Fr. O'Reilly, it seems,  is kind of guilty...not sure
• he is guilty = keep him away from children
• he is guilty, but maybe it was not all that bad...
• ---
• 
  
• What about the child and her family: 
• if they made it up why did they put their daughters through such distress
• If their daughters were really abused by Fr. O'Reilly, how distraught they must be; after all the money they spent(?)to try to get justice for their daughters.
• If the parents made it up, where did this hatred against Fr. O'Reilly spring from?
