Description

December 19 Toronto Provincial Court Judge Milton Cadsby found Charles Diamond and another man, arrested on August 25, 1980, while having sex in David Balfour Park, not guilty of the charge of "wilfully committing an indecent act in a public place, in the presence of one or more persons." Cadsby dismissed the charge, ruling that the men had sought the privacy of a secluded area of the park to engage in homosexual activities, intending to carry out the activity privately and not in the presence of one or more persons. The Crown attorney proceeded to lay charges of gross indecency against the accused. (See also September 8, 1981.)
