Charges against a priest already facing numerous sex abuse charges against Inuit children now have a count of bestiality added to the charges.

Court documents say the charge, one of five new ones laid this week against Eric Dejaeger, allegedly involved a dog.

The new accusations bring to 28 the number of charges against Dejaeger.

Almost all the counts are sex offences allegedly committed against boys and girls in the remote Nunavut community of Igloolik between 1979 and 1982.

Dejaeger, who was expelled from Belgium earlier this year on immigration violations, is being held in custody awaiting bail in Iqaluit.

He received a five-year sentence in 1990 after pleading guilty to nine counts of sex crimes against boys and girls in Baker Lake in the 1980s.
