An Anglican priest charged last month with sexually assaulting five youths in Edmonton during the 1980s is facing more charges after police say more victims came forward.

In February, Edmonton police charged Gordon William Dominey, 63, with five counts of sexual assault and five counts of gross indecency in connection with incidents that allegedly occurred at the Edmonton Youth Development Centre from 1985 to 1989.

He now faces 18 sexual assault charges and nine gross indecency charges in relation to the alleged assaults, which are reported to have happened at the incarceration facility.

Dominey was employed at the centre at the time.

The new charges come after four more men came forward in the last month to report allegations of sexual assault at the facility during the same time period, Edmonton police say.
