UPDATE: 15 new child sex charges for convicted abuser Gordon Stuckless

Posted By: Newstalk 1010 · 3/22/2013 1:07:00 PM

Toronto Police have laid 15 new charges against the man at the centre of the decades-old Maple Leaf Gardens sex scandal.

5 men have come forward with fresh accusations against the 64-year old, which are linked to alleged incidents that date from the early 1960's to the early 1970's.

Authorities say the alleged victims were between 9 and 13 years old at the time.

Stuckless faces 9 counts of Indecent Assault on a Male, 5 counts of Gross Indecency, and one charge of Buggery.

More charges are being investigated by York Regional Police.

Detectives believe there may be more victims.

Stuckless was charged last month with six counts of indecent assault on a man, assault and possession of a weapon or imitation after two men came forward with allegations that they were assaulted in the late 70's.

He was supposed to make a court appearance on Friday morning in connection to those new charges but police have rearrested him in light of the new allegations.

In 1997, Stuckless was convicted for the sex assault of 24 boys. Those convictions stem back to the days when he was an equipment manager at Maple Leaf Gardens between 1969 and 1988.

He was let out of jail in 2001, two-thirds of the way into a 5-year sentence.

    most of the judges in canada's justice system obviously haven't experienced 2x4 justice. these judges M U S T go to jail because perpetrators are getting out of jail without paying for their crime. PULL YOUR HEAD OUT OF YOUR A$$HOLE HARPER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    These aren't new offenses.. you're making it sound like they are. They are still all part of the old offenses he committed. The victims just haven't come forward until now. When he goes back to jail for these new charges, nothing's to say that these are the last victims who will come forward. When he gets out after the next jail term, he could very well go back again if more victims step forward at that time. It doesn't mean he's committing new offenses. He may very well be, who knows, but that's not what these charges are about.
