A 92-year-old retired priest is facing an indecent assault charge in connection with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) investigation into the former Fort Alexander Residential School, northeast of Winnipeg.

At a press conference Friday morning, Manitoba RCMP media relations officer Sgt. Paul Manaigre said the alleged offence took place when the victim was 10 years old and a student at the school between 1968 and 1970.

Father Arthur Masse was arrested at his Winnipeg home and released with conditions, police said, with a July 20 court date in Powerview, Man.

Beginning in 2010, the investigation — which, according to police, involved more than 700 interactions across North America, leading to 75 witness and victim statements — included a review of archived records of the school, including student and employee lists.

The Fort Alexander Residential School closed in 1970.
