A Roman Catholic priest from western Newfoundland facing 62 sex-related charges will appear in court today. George Ansel Smith has elected to be tried by judge alone, and has been in custody since February 23rd. At that time, 24 more charges were laid against the 74-year-old priest when he appeared in Corner Brook provincial court to answer to the 38 charges that had been laid in December. In the meantime, a publication ban has been put in place to protect the identity of any complainants or witnesses in the case.
