EDMONTON — A Catholic priest is facing sex-related charges in Edmonton that go back more than 35 years.
Police say Father Eric Dejaeger is being transferred to the city from the Baffin Correctional Centre in Nunavut.
Dejaeger, who is 64, was returned to Canada from his Belgium residence last January on outstanding sexual assault charges in the territory.
Edmonton police say they received a complaint in April about an alleged encounter with Dejaeger in 1975.
He has been charged with indecent assault and gross indecency.
His first court appearance on the new charges is scheduled for Dec. 2.
The preliminary hearing for the Nunavut charges is set for next February.
