Corner Brook – A Roman Catholic priest facing 62 sex-related charges could be facing even more charges when he appears in court again in Corner Brook next month.
The case of George Ansel Smith, 74, was called in Newfoundland Supreme Court in Corner Brook ths morning.
The former local priest was not present, and his lawyer Thomas Williams appeared via telephone.
The case was set over to May 7 as Crown attorney Trina Simms informed the court she is awaiting the transfer of another charge — involving one of the current victims — from Nova Scotia. She said there is a possibility further charges may come out of New Brunswick, as well.
