Nunavut Court Of Justice: Eric Dejaeger

Arctic Community Dept: Three weeks have been set aside for the preliminary hearing, which will start on Feb. 20, 2012, the Nunavut Court of Justice confirmed Monday in Iqaluit, according to CBC. The alleged offences took place between 1978 and 1982, when Dejaeger was serving as a missionary in the eastern Arctic community and a preliminary hearing will take place next year for Eric Dejaeger, a former Roman Catholic priest accused of sex crimes against children in Nunavut in the late-1970s and 1980s. Eric Dejaeger, right, is escorted out of the Iqaluit courthouse on Jan. 20, shortly after he was brought back to Canada from Belgium. He remains in custody at the Baffin Correctional Centre. Dejaeger, now 64, faces more than 30 criminal charges including indecent assault and buggery from multiple complainants who claim he abused them when they were children in Igloolik, Nunavut. As reported in the news.
