A Roman Catholic priest in northwestern Saskatchewan is carrying on with his work in three parishes despite being charged with sexual assault.
Father Javier de los Angeles Cortazar is accused of assaulting another priest two years ago, at a cabin near the village of Goodsoil.
Cortazar’s trial is set for April, 2017 at Court of Queen’s Bench in Meadow Lake. A publication ban prevents the name of the victim from being published.
Since the accusations first came to light, Cortazar has continued to work as a priest. He is currently the parish priest for the communities of Pierceland, Goodsoil and Loon Lake.
