A new complainant has come forward with sexual abuse allegations against a Pembroke-area priest.

OPP yesterday arrested Msgr. Bernard Prince, 72, after investigating the male complainant's claims. Prince was charged with buggery, indecent assault on a male and gross indecency in connection with alleged incidents between 1967 and 1970 in Ottawa.

The charges are in addition to the pile of allegations Prince is currently facing.

Police began investigating Prince in May 2005 after receiving a complaint that he allegedly assaulted a young male while the boy visited Prince in Wilno, near Barry's Bay.

Since then, 13 alleged victims have come forward with accusations against Prince.

Last month, a court ordered Prince to stand trial on 14 charges of indecent or sexual assault.

Prince was released from custody with conditions yesterday. He is scheduled to appear April 10 in a Pembroke court.
