Ontario Provincial Police have charged a Catholic priest in Geraldton, Ont., with sexual assault for incidents that allegedly occurred in the 1980s.

OPP said Friday they have arrested 56-year-old Roger Pronovost on two counts of sexual assault and one count of sexual exploitation.

The alleged offences involved one male victim who was a teenager at the time the incidents occurred between 1987 and 1989.

OPP say Pronovost was assigned during that period to St. John the Baptist Church in Longlac, Ont.
