IQALUIT — Edward Horne, a former Baffin region teacher and principal, is now facing 62 sex-related charges.

Crown prosecutors said in court last Friday that more complainants had come forward since last May, when Horne was charged with 34 sex-related counts.

The charges stem from events alleged to have occurred in the 1970s and 1980s. Horne was arrested at an airport in Ontario this spring as he got off a plane from Mexico.

He has been in custody without trial since March 31. His case has been set over to Sept. 14.
