Description

February Kelowna, B.C. George Milne, forty, was arrested on five charges of gross indecency with males under nineteen years old, and five additional charges of indecent assault against the same men. During the trial, the Crown dropped the indecent assault charges because there was no evidence of force, violence, or coercion. The youths testified that they had consented to and were willing participants in any sexual activity. After a lengthy hearing, however, Milne pleaded guilty to the charges of gross indecency. This was his second conviction, as he had been jailed thirteen years earlier after being convicted of indecent assault. The Crown applied to have Milne declared a dangerous sexual offender (DSO), which was granted in September 1979, and he was placed in the Matsqui Federal Penitentiary in Abbotsford, B.C., for an indeterminate sentence.
