The sentencing hearing began today in Iqaluit for Eric Dejaeger, the Roman Catholic priest convicted last fall on 32 counts of child sexual abuse dating back three decades in Igloolik, Nunavut.
This morning his defence lawyer, Malcolm Kempt, told the court that victim impact statements could take two days.
Justice Robert Kilpatrick is expected to issue his sentence after that.
