A former priest, who was previously convicted on dozens of sex abuse charges in Nunavut and Alberta, has been arrested again and will be sent to Iqaluit to face further sexual assault charges.

Eric Dejaeger, 76, is now facing eight counts of historical sexual assault in Nunavut, stemming from investigations conducted between 2011 and 2015, according to Nunavut RCMP. 

Police gave no details about when and where the alleged assaults occurred.

In 2015, the former Oblate priest was convicted of 32 counts of sexually abusing people in Igloolik, Nunavut, many of them children. Later that same year, he was convicted of sexually abusing children in Alberta in the 1970s.
