A former Essex County priest has been charged with sexual offences that allegedly occurred more than 30 years ago.

Rev. Linus Bastien, 85, faces two counts of indecent assault and two counts of gross indecency, the charges that were on the books back in 1978 when the alleged incidents occurred.

The charges stem from complaints by two former altar boys at St. Mary's Parish in Maidstone.

Bastien, who lives in Chatham, was arrested this week and released on a promise to appear in Ontario Court in Windsor on Nov. 1.
