A retired Roman Catholic priest is scheduled to appear in court Thursday morning on charges of gross indecency dating back to the early 1970’s.
In November, Ottawa police began investigating a series of alleged incidents involving a retired priest and a seven-year-old boy. The incidents allegedly occurred in Ottawa between 1971 and 1973.
Jacques Faucher, 76, who know lived in Gatineau is charged with one count each of gross indecency and indecent assault.
Faucher has a long history in the City of Ottawa and was ordained in 1960, serving in four separate parishes, according to a profile on the archdiocese website.
