CORNER BROOK, N.L. (CP) — There has been a delay in the court case involving a 74-year-old Roman Catholic priest from western Newfoundland who faces 62-sex-related charges.

The Crown says it is waiting for the outcome of an ongoing investigation in Nova Scotia into further allegations against George Ansel Smith.

As a result, the case has been set over until Sept. 10.

The case was called in the Supreme Court of Newfoundland and Labrador in Corner Brook on Monday.
