HALIFAX - A man who is waiting to be sentenced on his conviction of sexually molesting two boys in the 1970s has been denied bail in a Halifax court.
Sixty-seven-year-old Ernest Fenwick MacIntosh was found guilty last month on 13 charges of indecent assault and gross indecency.
Details of the evidence presented during the bail hearing are banned from publication.
MacIntosh's lawyer, Brian Casey, MacIntosh's lawyer, told reporters he and his client are disappointed with the decision.
But Crown lawyer Mark Scott says it would be extraordinary for the court to release a person pending sentence.
At MacIntosh's trial last month in Port Hawkesbury, the victims testified that the abuse occurred in the former businessman's vehicles and other locations prior to 1974 when he lived in Cape Breton.
He is appealing the convictions at the Nova Scotia Court of Appeal.
The date for that appeal has been scheduled for March 22nd.
