KINGSTON, Ont. – Police in Kingston, Ont., say a retired priest is facing fresh charges related to alleged sexual assaults stretching back to the 1980s.
They say Robin Gwyn, 66, was arrested in his home province of Nova Scotia on Sept. 18 and transported to Kingston four days later.

He was originally charged with sexual assault, sexual interference and invitation to sexual touching in relation to a case involving one victim.
But, police say after Gwyn was granted bail, detectives had a second alleged victim come forward providing police with reasonable grounds to believe further historic offences had occurred.
On Wednesday, nine additional counts of sexual assault were laid, but Gwyn’s bail was extended by the court on strict conditions.
The alleged offences were committed from the 1980s until the early 2000s.
