A defrocked Catholic priest was convicted of 31 counts of sexual offenses against children and one count of bestiality in Canada on Friday.
Belgian-born Eric Dejaeger, 67, was found guilty of raping dozens of children and a sled dog in the Canadian Arctic while he worked there as a missionary.
More than 20 of his victims who testified in court were from Igloolik, an Inuit hamlet with a population of about 2,000 on the shore of the Northwest Passage, the Iqaluit court clerk told AFP.
Dejaeger worked in Igloolik from 1978 to 1982 and eventually became a Canadian citizen.
Victims said he used his position to lure and trap them into sex while threatening them with hellfire and separation from their families. Full story...
