A 65-year-old Roman Catholic priest, now serving in North Bay, has been charged by Greater Sudbury Police in connection with alleged sexual assaults in this city 25 years ago.

Father Bernard Cloutier was arrested in North Bay and taken to Sudbury where he

appeared in bail court Tuesday, before being released.

Cloutier faces six charges stemming from complaints by two individuals who allege the priest assaulted them over an extended period that began in mid-1979.

A court-imposed ban prohibits publication of evidence given at the hearing.

Cloutier, wearing a sports jacket, slacks and a white shirt open at the neck, was released on bail until July 25, when either he or his lawyer will be back in court in Sudbury to set a date for his trial. (The Sudbury Star)
