A priest now residing in Chatham is facing additional sex-related charges.

Essex County OPP have laid two more charges against Father Linus Bastien, dating back to 1974-75, when he was at St. Paul's Catholic Church in LaSalle.

The complainant was a student at the school at the time. Another alleged victim has come forward to police, said the OPP.

The 85-year-old accused faces one more count of indecent assault, and another count of gross indecency.

He will appear in court in Windsor Tuesday.

Anyone with information related to the case is asked to call the OPP at 1-800-310-1122 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS.
