A victim impact statement from an Igloolik sexual abuse victim quoted St. Paul the Apostle’s instructions on ‘how to live a good life,’ and said that the pedophile ex-priest, Eric Dejaeger, “did not know God.” Dejaeger appeared in the Nunavut Court of Justice in Iqaluit this week for a sentencing hearing. He has been found guilty on 32 counts mostly related to sex crimes against Inuit girls and boys committed between 1976 and 1982 in Igloolik.
The victim recalled being molested at the Roman Catholic mission in Igloolik by Dejaeger at the age between five and seven. This was just one of the six victim impact statements to be read in court on the afternoon of Jan. 20. Quoting verses from St. Paul’s first epistle to the Thessalonians, she suggested that Dejeager will face the vengeance of God in the afterlife. She read “that no man go beyond and defraud his brother in any matter: because that the Lord is the avenger of all such, as we also have forewarned you and testified,” adding that “for God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness.”
Despite feeling emotionally destructed, the woman continued her statement and quoted another verse suggesting Dejaeger “shall be punished with everlasting destruction.” Manhole on the other hand, Dejaeger sat upright beside his lawyer, Malcolm Kempt, and displayed little reaction to that and numerous other victim impact statements that Crown lawyers have brought to the court since the morning of Jan. 19.
