About Cornwall and allegations of ritual and sexual abuse:
Cornwall is a town of 47,000 in eastern Ontario Canada, on the north shore of
the St. Lawrence river/seaway. It is directly across the river from Massena, NY.
As of mid-2007, charges and
countercharges of a multigenerational sex ring had been widely circulated for over five years.
This ring, locally called "the clan," allegedly involved community leaders engaged in hebephilia
(sexual abuse of post-pubertal children), and ritual abuse over an interval of
many decades.
A commission of inquiry began in Cornwall on 2006-FEB-12. After many months,
the rationale for the commission has largely collapsed. Allegations of ritual abuse in Cornwall
by an adult sex-ring were described as "...
the biggest and most damaging hoax ever inflicted on this community. It is also
arguably the most expensive hoax the country has known." 1
Unfortunately, there appears to have been no effort to
investigate a similar case in nearby
Prescott, Ontario. There are some indications that it is also a hoax -- but
one that caused the imprisonment of dozens of possibly innocent people in what
might have been the most serious miscarriage of justice in the history of
Canada.
