Description

August 24 Edmonton During the trial of a Fort McMurray man who was charged as a found-in during the Pisces Spa raid, the defence drew evidence from expert witnesses Dr. Neil Lindquist, a research officer with the AHRC, and Robert Brownlee, a Unitarian minister. Both men insisted that, although they exist for sexual contact, the baths could also be seen as a positive meeting place and community support centre for gays. Their testimony was discounted because neither of them had ever gone to the Pisces Spa. The man was found guilty of being a found-in and was fined $250.
