Charles Pulis and Godwin ScerriCharles Pulis and Godwin Scerri

Two former priests convicted of child molestation charges have been granted more time by a court to make their submissions in a case for compensation.

Charles Pulis and Godwin Scerri were convicted in November last year and jailed for six years and five years respectively.

The 10 victims submitted compensation claims against the former priests, the Curia, the Attorney General and the Missionary Society of St Paul (MSSP) of which the former priests formed part of when they worked at St Joseph Home.

The Curia is pleading that the compensation plea is time barred while the victims say the Church’s offer to help the victims stopped the period of prescription. The MSSP has made the same plea.
