Canadian senior in Nepal jail for alleged sex with boy
Newspaper says Ernest Fenwick MacIntosh, 71, forced
boy into having sex. A man of the same name and age once faced charges in
Nova Scotia.
Ernest Fenwick MacIntosh outside a Halifax court in 2010 in connection with
sex offence convictions. A Canadian of the same name and age has been jailed in
Nepal on allegations of child sex.
KATHMANDU, NEPAL—A media report from Nepal says a Canadian man is in jail
after being accused of having sex with a boy in that country.
The Himalayan Times quotes a spokesperson with the Metropolitan Police Range
in Jawalakhel as saying that Ernest Fenwick MacIntosh, 71,
allegedly forced a boy into having sex with him on Dec. 13.
In 2013, an Ernest Fenwick MacIntosh had
17 child sex
offence convictions in Nova Scotia quashed after the Supreme Court of
Canada ruled his case took too long to go to trial.
The Canadian Press could not reach the Metropolitan Police Range in Nepal to
confirm the identity of the accused and other details in the report.
In the Himalayan Times report, it says the Metropolitan Police Range
received a complaint from the family of the alleged victim on Dec. 19 that a
Canadian tourist lured him into a room at a guest house.
MacIntosh was accused of sexually abusing boys in Cape Breton in the 1970s.
The allegations surfaced in 1995, when he was living in India.
But he wasn’t extradited until 2007 and the first of his two trials in Nova
Scotia didn’t start until 2010. His convictions were quashed in April 2013.
