The former executive director of Surrey’s Métis family services will finally go to trial, for sex crimes he allegedly committed against two Toronto children in the 1970s.
Bill Lee will face a judge and jury starting Monday.
Lee was first arrested in November of 2006, but it has taken until now to go to trial on two counts of sex assault and one count of buggery.
The alleged crimes took place in the 1970s, against two children between six and 11 years old.
The highly-regarded Lee once worked as an aboriginal policy advisor with the Ministry of Children and Families, but skipped bail in spring 2008, before finally being turning himself in, in September of that year.
The Ontario Superior Trial is expected to last three weeks.
