Summary:

The accused was convicted of sexual offences against infant female relatives over an 11 year period ending in 1986. The accused was sentenced to 7.5 years' impris­onment. The accused appealed his convic­tions on the ground that the trial judge erred in admitting certain similar fact evidence.

The Alberta Court of Appeal, per McClung, J.A., granted judicial interim release.
