The public school system might have to be abolished to get rid of the teachers who are more or less parasites.

Ex-residential school worker convicted of abusing boys

Residential school employee responds to charges

Paul Leroux, a former dormitory supervisor who has been convicted of sexually abusing boys at a residential school decades ago, has been given a three-year sentence by a judge in Battleford, Sask.

Leroux shook his head as the sentence was handed down on Thursday. Some of his victims who were in court said they were upset with the prison term and that it was not enough considering their years of suffering.

The Crown prosecutor had sought a sentence of 11 years in prison.

'It doesn't matter what he gets. The damage is done.'— Residential school victim Leroux worked at the Beauval Indian Residential School nearly 50 years ago. Last month, he was found guilty on 10 counts of indecent assault.

Before the sentencing on Thursday, CBC News spoke with one victim, who cannot be named. He said nothing will undo what happened to him and the other victims.

"It doesn't matter what he gets," the victim said. "The damage is done. He's stolen many years from us. Whether he gets two, three, four, 10 years, it doesn't matter."

Leroux, who is now 73 years old, has been representing himself in court. He maintains he did not commit the crimes and is not apologizing.

Leroux also has convictions from his time working at a residential school in Inuvik during the 1970s. He was sentenced to 10 years in 1998 for sexually abusing boys there.

The Beauval school was operated by the Catholic Church under the supervision of the federal government, from 1895 to 1983.
