On her honeymoon, Leona pretended she was a virgin. After all, she was a
devout Vancouver Catholic who was taught that sex outside marriage was
sinful. But Leona had a great deal of early teenage sexual experience
before she married -- all of it with her own Catholic priest, Father
John Edward McCann.
A letter to the editor in today’s Vancouver Sun brought back memories about the years in which I wrote more than 120 articles about clergy sex abuse, including in residential schools. The surprising letter came from Coquitlam’s Leona Huggins, a survivor of teenage abuse at the hands of Catholic priest John Edward McCann.
