IQALUIT, Nunavut – A witness at the trial of a former priest accused of sex abuse against children in the Arctic has testified that he used to pluck her out of a group of playing children and rape her.

She told an Iqaluit court that Eric Dejaeger (deh’-YAY’-guhr) would take her to a dark corner of a room in the church building where her friends were colouring pictures.

She said the one-time Oblate missionary used to fondle her and force her to do the same to him.
