IQALUIT, Nunavut - RCMP confirm they have an active arrest warrant on child sex abuse charges for a second Arctic priest who left Canada.

Police in Iqaluit, Nunavut, say Oblate priest Joannis (yoh-HAH'-niss) Rivoire (rih-VWAR') is wanted on three sex-related charges dating from his time in Rankin Inlet between 1968 and 1970.

Former Oblate priest Eric Dejaeger is currently on trial in Iqaluit on 69 charges of child sexual abuse alleged to have occurred between 1978 and 1982.

He fled to his homeland of Belgium, where he lived for nearly 18 years before he was returned to Canada on immigration violations.

Rivoire is thought to be living in France.

Police say that Rivoire will be arrested if he returns to Canada.
