An Anglican priest accused of sexually assaulting teenage boys at an Edmonton youth jail in the 1980s faces 17 additional charges after four more complainants came forward to police in the past month.

Edmonton police announced Tuesday that Gordon William Dominey, 63, is now facing a total of 18 sexual assault charges and nine gross indecency charges in relation to incidents that allegedly occurred while he was employed as a priest at the Edmonton Youth Development Centre.

Dominey was initially charged with five counts each of sexual assault and gross indecency in February after two complainants came forward to police in September and then three other alleged victims were identified later.

Those complainants were allegedly abused at the youth centre between 1985 and 1989, when they were between the ages 14 to 17.

Dominey was arrested Feb. 4 in Coquitlam, B.C., and is believed to have lived in British Columbia since 1990. While living there, Dominey was employed as a parish priest.
