Canada child sex priest Eric Dejaeger held in Belgium

Belgian authorities are seeking to expel a Canadian priest accused of sexually abusing Inuit children.

The Reverend Eric Dejaeger, a Belgian native, is wanted in Canada on warrants involving alleged crimes against Inuit children more than 30 years ago.

Father Dejaeger, a 63-year-old Canadian citizen, was arrested and charged in Belgium with overstaying a visa.

Warrants were issued in Nunavut territory in 2002 for his arrest. Interpol has also issued a warrant.
