Roman Catholic priest William Hodgson Marshall is facing two additional charges as of Friday.

The 88-year-old was already facing abuse allegations in Windsor, Sudbury and Toronto.

On Friday morning he turned himself in to a Toronto police station and was officially charged with two counts of indecent assault, one against a male and one against a female, said Const. Wendy Drummond.

The Windsor assaults are alleged to have occurred between 1960 and 1970. The Sudbury incidents are from the 1950s and the 1980s.

Drummond said no information was available about the new charges or about how the most recent allegations came to light.

Marshall is set to appear in court on Jan. 19.

    Two more charges. Two more victims: one male, one female.
