April 14 Agincourt, Ont. Roy […]
Description
April 14 Agincourt, Ont. Roy Montgomery, proprietor of Montgomery Leathers, sold leather gear out of his apartment. Police raided the apartment and charged Montgomery with multiple separate charges, ranging from selling obscene matter to keeping a common bawdy house. Police confiscated Montgomery's photo album to use the photographs as evidence in his trial. An unnamed roommate of Montgomery's was also charged with keeping a common bawdy house and making obscene photographs; the charges against him were dropped on June 4, 1981. Gay community activists were suspicious of the charges against Montgomery, since he had sold materials to the Barracks, and the Barracks case was still before the courts. (See also September 2, 1981.)
