Justice Robert Kilpatrick has denied Crown prosecutor Doug Curliss’ application from Tuesday to revisit the testimony of one of the complainants in the trial of former Oblate priest Eric Dejaeger.

The 66-year-old is on trial at the Nunavut Court of Justice in Iqaluit.

He’s facing dozens of charges alleging sexual abuse against children in Igloolik, Nunavut.

After a short break Wednesday morning, Crown prosecutor Barry Nordin made another application to the court, this time to consider the evidence of each complainant to support the evidence of the other complainants.

In total more than 40 people have testified, mostly about alleged sexual acts involving young girls, boys and even dogs.
