Canada — A Roman Catholic priest in North Bay will have a court date next Wednesday on allegations that he sexually assaulted two boys in Sudbury dating back to 1979.

Father Bernard Cloutier, 65, remains free on bail.

He was charged last month with two

counts of sexual assault, indecent assault and gross indecency involving two boys sometime between 1979 and 1983 while he was parish priest at St. Mathieu Church on Pioneer Road, and L'Annonciation Church on Northway Avenue in Sudbury.

Cloutier turned himself in to Greater Sudbury Police with the co-operation of the Diocese of Sault Ste. Marie.

At the time of his arrest, Cloutier had been serving as the parish priest at Saints-Anges in North Bay.
