Rowe Verdit Today

A Kenora judge is expected to render a verdict today on new charges laid against Ralph Rowe.

The former Anglican minister and Boy Scout master stood trial in April on 11 charges of sexual abuse involving seven individuals.

Two years ago, Rowe was convicted on 20 counts of sexual offences involving First Nations boys in northern Ontario between 1977 and 1987.

He served four and a half years of a six year sentence in 1994 for indecent and sexual assaults involving boys aged 6 to 16.
