Appendix 3: Persons Found Guilty of Abusing Residential School Students ======================================================================= The following list of individuals convicted of abusing residential school students was compiled by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada through a review of documents provided by parties to the Settlement Agreement, government archives, and court records, and searches of online legal and non-legal databases. There are a number of limitations to this list. Because document production has been an ongoing process throughout the operation of the Commission, it has not been possible to review all documents provided to the Commission. The Commission has not had the time or resources to review the various court and police records for information on prosecutions and convictions relating to the abuse of students. +----------+----------------------+-------------------------+-----------------------------------------+-----------------------------------------+ | Province | School | Offender | Conviction | Sentence | +----------+----------------------+-------------------------+-----------------------------------------+-----------------------------------------+ | AB | Edmonton | James Ludford | gross indecency (1960) | 1 year’s suspended sentence; report | | | | | | to provincial mental hospital and | | | | | | not participate in activities with | | | | | | individuals under age 21^1 | +----------+----------------------+-------------------------+-----------------------------------------+-----------------------------------------+ | | Morley | Robert G.
