More sex-related charges will be laid against an 82-year-old retired Roman Catholic priest, Chatham-Kent police say.
Four more woman have come forward with complaints against Charles Sylvestre, who faces more than 40 charges involving more than two dozen Southwestern Ontario women.
No new charges were laid against Sylvestre when he appeared in court yesterday, but Chatham-Kent police Insp. George Flikweert said additional charges stemming from three complainants would likely be presented Feb. 23 at Sylvestre's next court date.
A complainant, who Flikweert said is from Windsor, is being interviewed by police.
Sylvestre is already charged with 42 sex-related charges.
They include indecent assault, rape, sexual intercourse with a female under 14 years of age and attempted rape.
