CANADA -- A retired Anglican minister, jailed Thursday for molesting five young girls in the 1960s and 70s, faces two more indecent assault charges.

Ontario Provincial Police say two victims, one of which was a young child and the other a young teen at the time of the alleged offences, came forward. The offences are alleged to have taken place between 1965 and 1971 in Chapleau, Ont.

An OPP release does not say whether the two alleged victims are male or female. That information was not available from OPP late Monday afternoon.

Kenneth Graham Gibbs, 77, was charged with two counts of indecent assault.

Superior Court Justice Edward Koke sentenced the one-time Anglican priest Thursday to three and a half years in prison for sex offences he committed in Chapleau and Elliot Lake in the 1960s and 1970s. ?The Belleville resident was convicted in November of eight counts of indecent assault and the judge imposed concurrent terms for each of the offences, to be served in a federal penitentiary.

Gibbs was to appear for a bail hearing in Timmins on Tuesday.
