Child sexual abuse victim D.R.S., whose identity is under a publication ban, sits on the steps of the Supreme Court in Ottawa on Sunday. D.R.S. first came forward to police in 1995 with allegations of abuse against Ernest Fenwick MacIntosh dating back to the 1970s. He is dubious that the Supreme Court, which is hearing the case beginning Monday, will be more help to him and others who have made these accusations than the rest of the justice system has been.

A Hamilton woman has been taking pornographic photos of her children and sending them to an overseas penpal, police say. In January, a 50-year-old man from London, England, was arrested for possession of indecent images of children. The investigation by British authorities revealed a woman from Hamilton had sent several images of her children to the man.

  • Cases of women producing child pornography are extremely rare, according Robin Wilson, a McMaster researcher who specializes in counselling sexual offenders.
  • “This is a very uncommon crime that happens very infrequently. We would expect this to happen much more often in men. That it’s alleged to be a woman is shocking,” he said. “The fact that it’s a woman suspect who’s a parent is even more shocking.”
  • Wilson, whose practice is based in Florida, said females who molest children seldom do it for their own sexual gratification.
  • Rather, women who produce child porn, he said, would more typically be motivated by the possibility of financial gain or a desire to please a dominant male love interest.
  • “Women [sexual abusers] are much more likely to be mentally ill, much more likely to to have something going on in their lives,” Wilson added.

I wish this “researcher” would quote some numbers to back his claims.

Canadians are travelling to Cuba in surprising numbers to sexually exploit young people trapped in this socialist country’s underground sex tourism industry, a joint investigation by the Toronto Star and El Nuevo Herald, the Spanish-language sister publication of the Miami Herald, has found. Havana’s conspicuous scenes of street-level prostitution are the public face of a hidden, sordid trade in children as young as four. Many prostituted children in Cuba are second- or third-generation, following in the footsteps of sex-worker mothers to earn money for families complicit in their exploitation. Cuban authorities deny the problem. And Canada’s lax oversight suggests any self-proclaimed moral obligation to protect children from abuse stops at our own borders.
