Port Hawkesbury: MacIntosh

MacIntosh: Justice Minister Ross Landry apologized to Ernest Fenwick MacIntoshs victims Wednesday as the Public Prosecution Service acknowledged it didnt stay on top of the case like it should have, according to The Chronicle Herald. The first complaint about the businessman molesting boys in the Port Hawkesbury area was made in 1995, but MacIntosh, by then working in India, didnt go to trial until 2010. His convictions on 17 sexual offences were eventually overturned because of the delay and UPDATED 8:59 p.m. Wednesday Landry released the services review of the file and the reasons for the lengthy delay in bringing MacIntosh to trial. The review points to a heavy workload in the Port Hawkesbury Crown office and issues around the federal responsibilities for extradition and passport renewal. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
