A court in Canada has found a former Roman Catholic priest guilty of 24 of the 70-plus sex-related charges involving children.
Eric Dejaeger had already pleaded guilty to eight counts of sexual assault dating back thirty years ago. Dejaeger was returned to Canada from Belgium in 2011 for an immigration violation. Sexual abuse of children by priests has rocked the Roman Catholic Church in recent years. The Vatican has come repeatedly under fire for its handling of the child sex abuse cases. A UN report into the abuse scandals in February called on the Vatican to immediately remove all clerics who were known or suspected child abusers.
