A 76-year-old retired Roman Catholic priest facing charges related to the alleged sexual assault of a boy in the early 1970s has been released on bail after appearing in court Thursday.
Ottawa police arrested Jacques Faucher of Gatineau, Que., on Wednesday and charged him with gross indecency and indecent assault on a male. The incidents are alleged to have occurred in Ottawa between 1971 and 1973.
The complainant was seven years old in 1971, police said.
Faucher was released after posting a $3,000 bail bond. Faucher is not allowed to frequent pools, libraries, parks, schools —and other places where there are children — as one of the conditions of his release.
