Minister apologizes to wrongly
Saskatchewan Justice Minister Frank Quennell has apologized to two former police officers charged in the Martensville sex abuse case.
James Elstad and Edward Revesz were among six people who launched civil action against the province and the Martensville and Saskatoon police departments.
The cases date back to the early 1990s when nine people were charged with 180 sex-related offenses against children at a day care in Martensville.
On Tuesday, the province announced it has reached settlements with Elstad and Revesz – the final two cases to be dealt with.
They will get $285,000 and $175,000, respectively. The government will pick up half the cost, while the now-disbanded Martensville police force and the Saskatoon police will pay the rest.
"I think the [plaintiffs], quite rightly being innocent, wanted to see and expected and deserved some expression both of regret this had happened and admission they were put through an ordeal … through no fault of their own," he said.
Quennell said he has no plans to call an inquiry into the Martensville case.
The province has now paid out a total of more than $1.3 million to settle all of the lawsuits.
Only one of the accused was ever found guilty.
