Police are investigating the West Coast activities of Ralph Rowe, a 67-year-old former Anglican Church minister
described by one Crown prosecutor as one of the most
prolific pedophiles Canada has ever seen.
Police and parole officers are attempting to reconstruct
where Rowe went and what the former Anglican minister
and Scout leader after he got out of prison in 1998.
Rowe resided in Surrey, B.C. , when he finished serving
his first jail sentence for sexually assaulting several young boys until 2007, when he was convicted of additional
charges in Kenora court and sent back to jail.
All of the sexual assault cases involved First Nations boys aged between six and 16 in remote northwestern Ontario communities from 1971 to 1986.
