Nunavut RCMP are on the hunt for another Oblate priest who faces historic sex crime allegations in Nunavut.
The RCMP issued a news release Nov. 28 stating that there is a Canada-wide warrant for the arrest of 83-year-old Father Joannes Rivoire.
The warrant was actually issued in 1998, but nothing has been done to find him since.
The warrant is “in relation to sexual assaults allegedly committed in Nunavut between 1968 and 1970,” the news release said.
Rivoire is believed to currently live in a monastery in southern France. He left Canada in 1993.
Yvonne Niego, a communications spokesperson for the Nunavut RCMP, said three charges were laid in 1997.
