Description

April 6 Toronto County Court Judge George Ferguson was urged to reopen the case of Roy Stanley Williams and Bruce Joseph Tearse, convicted in February 1981 of indecently assaulting and forcibly confining a sixteen-year-old youth. New witnesses had come forward to claim that the victim was in fact a "street hustler" and may have consented to entering the apartment where the assaults allegedly took place. A third man, Bazil Madden, had pleaded guilty to charges arising from the same incident and been sentenced to six years in prison. (See also May 6, 1981.)
