Father Charlie had curious hands
In an exclusive story for the Star, bestselling novelist Lori Lansens recalls her childhood in Chatham, Ont., and her early encounters with Father Charles Sylvestre, later convicted of abusing dozens of girls.
Sylvestre, like most predators, had been cunning. His public demonstrativeness cast doubt on anything he might be accused of doing behind closed doors, especially because he was such a powerful and beloved man. The priest pleaded guilty to 47 counts of sexual assault and died a few months into a three-year prison term.

University of Wisconsin cut ties with chapter after hazing incident landed student in hospital
CSO found the fraternity had violated four of 12 items on the Registered Student Organization code of conduct list, three of which prohibit acts of violence, endangerment, sexual assault and substance abuse.
The committee found Chi Phi caused "serious physical, psychological and emotional injuries" during its initiation. Among the activities that caused these injuries, CSO cited "food deprivation, stints of hooded isolation, loss of personal liberty, sleeping in a confined attic" and the ritual casket ceremony.
