London RC diocese facing new lawsuits
London, Ontario -
Two men who allege they were sexually abused by a Roman Catholic priest and teacher filed separate multimillion-dollar lawsuits yesterday against the diocese of London. And the men are urging other victims of retired Rev. John Harper, twice convicted of sexual abuse, to come forward.
Peter John Gahlinger, 54, of Ottawa and a 50-year-old London man using the pseudonym Tony Devlin filed statements of claim yesterday amounting to $6 million, plus interest and costs.
They claim they were sexually abused by Harper, who still lives in London and was their teacher between 1960 and the early 1970s.
Harper and the diocese are named in both lawsuits.
Gahlinger's suit also names Bishop Ronald Fabbro.
