Police believe there may be more alleged victims of Brian Boucher, a Montreal priest who is facing several charges related to sexual offences against minors allegedly committed between 1994 and 2011.

Boucher was charged Thursday with sexual assault, sexual touching, sexual interference and breaking and entering.

He was first arrested Jan. 12, but later released under strict conditions. However, he was arrested again on Wednesday after two more complaints surfaced.

Police said Boucher, 56, was still working as a priest when he was arrested this week, but the Archdiocese of Montreal released a statement Thursday that suggests otherwise.
