A preliminary hearing is set in the case of David Norton, a retired Anglican priest.
Norton, 71, is facing four counts of indecent assault, alleged to have happened as far back as 1977.
At the time of the alleged incidents, Norton was a priest at St. Andrew’s Anglican Church on the Chippewa of the Thames First Nation reserve near London. He was also lecturing at King’s University College.
Police said an investigation has found allegations of abuse involving First Nation boys, starting in 1977.
The Diocese of Huron removed Norton’s permit to act as an Anglican priest until the conclusion of the trial.
