Roman Catholic priest George Ansel Smith had his facts and sentencing hearing postponed Tuesday.

The 74-year-old priest has pleaded guilty to 40 of the more than 70 charges he faces involving young boys.

The matter was called in Supreme Court of Newfoundland and Labrador in Corner Brook Tuesday, but Crown attorney Trina Simms requested the postponement to a two-day hearing Feb. 27-28. She also said another charge will be filed with the court prior to that date.
