Tri City News reports:
A former youth pastor, therapist and counselor who worked for churches in Coquitlam and Vancouver walked out of a court prisoner’s box today to be handcuffed and led to jail. On Friday (Jan. 20), BC Supreme Court Justice Paul W. Riley imposed a sentence of 12 years and 11 months against Raymond Gaglardi; however, it was reduced by half under the totality principle due to his age, meaning Gaglardi will be behind bars for six years and six months.
Gaglardi, a diminutive man of 78 years old, showed no emotion. His wife of 49 years showed no expression as well. The judge said Gaglardi “preyed” on adolescent boys or young men who came from troubled homes. Gaglardi would check their bodies for venereal disease, touch their penises, use a pen-like instrument to examine their genitals, massage their prostate, provide pornographic material to masturbate or perform a coffee enema.
