Beaulieu was transferred to a home owned by the Brothers in Burrilville, RI in 1990. Similar allegations at that time were made by a Guertin student against computer teacher Michael Couture . Instead of being reported as required by law, he was asked to resign. In 1994, Couture pleaded guilty to 12 counts of rape of a student he'd taught at the school in 1989 and is now serving 10 to 30 years in the state prison. A priest already facing sexual abuse charges has been arrested again.
Police say the boy often spent weekend evenings there with the priest.
The boy told authorities he and Fortier engaged in sexual acts during the visits. According to court records, police seized child pornography during a search of the priest's home. In the latest case, Fortier was charged with felonious sexual assault after an alleged victim told police that the priest had assaulted him some time in the last 5 years. If convicted, Fortier faces a 3 to 7 year prison sentence on each count. The Diocese of Manchester has said they have never received complaints about him.
