A former counsellor once associated with Glad Tidings Temple in Vancouver and Hillside Community Church in Coquitlam faces new charges from the 1970s against three alleged victims.
An 80-year-old former pastor and therapist who is serving a prison sentence for sex crimes against 11 young male clients has been charged with more offences in Vancouver and Burnaby in the 1970s.
Raymond Howard Gaglardi was sentenced in January 2023 to six-and-a-half years in prison after being convicted of multiple counts of sexual assault and sexual exploitation against victims between the ages of 10 and 30. The offences were committed between 1971 and 1981, when Gaglardi was working at Glad Tidings Temple in Vancouver, and between 1993 and 2015, when he was associated with Hillside Community Church in Coquitlam, according to court documents.His victims were between the ages of 10 and 30.
"In each case, Mr. Gaglardi touched the victim in a sexual manner, in circumstances where the victim did not consent, consented on false pretenses, or consented based on Mr. Gaglardi’s exploitation of a trust relationship," B.C. Supreme Court Justice Paul Riley said in his sentencing ruling in the case.
On Nov. 13, Gaglardi was charged with three more counts each of gross indecency and indecent assault against three different alleged victims in 1970, 1973 and 1974, according to the Vancouver provincial court registry.The Burnaby NOW reached out to Coquitlam RCMP, which investigated the cases, for more information and was told a "full update" on the charges would be published later in the week.
