Ottawa police have laid four new charges against a retired Catholic priest in connection with alleged sexual assaults at two local churches in the 1960s.

Rev. Barry McGrory, 82, has been charged with two counts of indecent assault on a male, and two counts of gross indecency.

The incidents — two complainants are involved — are alleged to have occurred at Immaculate Heart of Mary Church on Alta Vista Drive, and St. Philip Parish in Richmond.

McGrory was first arrested in November in connection with the alleged sexual assault of a 15-year-old boy in the 1960s.
A pre-trial conference is scheduled for later this month on those charges.
