What is the result of the trial of a man accused of possessing a sex ring?

Saskatchewan, Canada


The following excerpt is from R. v. Reeves, 1954 CanLII 180 (SK CA):

The magistrate, at the conclusion of the trial on October 26, reserved his decision and adjourned the trial to October 28 and on that date delivered written judgment as follows: “Sometimes I do not make a memo. On matters of this kind; but I just made a memo. here this morning and I think I will read that. “Now, I am convicting the accused as charged. The explanation given by the accused of his possession of the ring is most unreasonable; in fact, fantastic and improbable, and raises no doubt in my mind as to his guilt. “Now, the points of law raised by the defence were many and difficult. Our Court of Appeal in Rex v. Bayn [supra] dealt with most of the relevant law. Since this case there have been cases which do not agree in all particulars with Rex v. Bayn. I am, however, relying on it in deciding this case.”
