Former Catholic priest Yvon Arsenault was back in court Thursday to face a charge of indecent assault against a male dating back to the 1970s. He’s already in prison for molesting nine boys between 1971 and 1980.
The 74-year-old man is accused of assaulting a male between January 1970 and December 1973 in Shediac. The charge reflects the Criminal Code at the time. The age of the alleged victim was not provided.
Arsenault appeared without a lawyer and is scheduled to return to court June 22.
At his court appearance Thursday, Arsenault appeared to be heavier, with a beard, glasses and a buzz cut that he didn’t have at his sentencing in February.
