Jail sentence

Canada -- A former Brampton city councillor was given a six-month jail sentence today in connection with four historical sexual molestations of young boys.

The 65-year-old man was taken into custody immediately after Justice Bruce Duncan rendered his decision in a Brampton courtroom.

The convicted sex-offender's wife was visibly upset in and outside the courtroom.

Justice Duncan gave the man four concurrent six-month sentences for his May 19, 2006 conviction of four separate gross indecency charges stemming from the early 1970s and ordered him to perform 80 hours of community service when he's released. He will also be placed on a year's probation once he gets out of jail.
