Ottawa police have laid six additional counts of gross indecency and indecent assault against a retired Roman Catholic priest already facing charges related to the alleged sexual assault of a boy in the early 1970s.
Jacques Faucher of Gatineau, Que., was charged and appeared in court via video on Friday to face the additional charges.
Faucher, 76, was already facing one count each of gross indecency and indecent assault on a male in relation to incidents alleged to have occurred in Ottawa between 1971 and 1973. The complainant in that instance was seven years old in 1971, police said.
The new charges come after police asked anyone with information about the incident or other incidents to contact them.
