Description
June 5 Toronto The Toronto Sun published an exposé of an ongoing police morality squad investigation of a gay call-boy service, using a sensational cover headline, in bold type: "Boys for Sale in Gay Sex Ring." The service was run by someone known as "Blue"[Douglas Rearick] through a telephone number, and employed youths aged fourteen to nineteen. Rearick, a thirty-one-year-old American, was not charged in connection with the service, but was later charged with possession of marijuana and placed on three months' probation; Rearick was deported to the United States.
