Description

January Montréal The trials of men charged in the April 23, 1980, Sauna David raid began. The trial of seven men charged as keepers of a bawdy house began on January 12 and continued for five days before being remanded until May 25, 1981. On January 15, two men were convicted of gross indecency and were fined $250 each and placed on two years' probation. The men were convicted despite having no physical contact with each other; they appealed the decision to the Québec Court of Appeal. Of the other eleven men originally charged with gross indecency during the raid, five had already had the charges against them dismissed. (See also July 8, 1981.)
