‘You are a monster’: Former Catholic priest pleads guilty to sexually assaulting Nunavut children

A former Catholic priest who sexually abused children in Nunavut has pleaded guilty to all of the charges against him. Eric Dejaeger, 77, entered his guilty pleas in an Iqaluit courtroom Thursday morning before Justice Faiyaz Alibhai.

Dejaeger originally faced eight historical charges for sexual assaults that happened between 1978 and 1982 in Igloolik. Two of the charges were withdrawn by the Crown, as they pertain to having sex outside marriage, which is no longer part of the Criminal Code.
