Nun says kids are lying about abuse at PEI commune
Lucille Poulin, 78, a former nun in a Prince Edward Island child assault case, told jurors the five children she faced were wicked and seduced by Satan. She defended using a heavy wooden rod as divine discipline and said she would not change her methods if another child were in her care. The accusers testified of repeated, severe beatings. Poulin claimed she struck only a few times. The trial adjourned for two weeks.
