Kiedy przywodca ruchu monarchistycznego popala sobie maryske, to nic w tym strasznego. Ale jak to robi z nieletnimi i do tego jest pedofilem, to ogarnia mnie strach.
Krolowa Victoria uzywala marihuany do usniezania bolow zwiazanych z miesiaczka. W dzisiejszych czasach ksiaze Harry przypala dla relaksu. Czyli marihuana nie jest zadnym tabu dla brytyjskiej rodziny krolewskiej.
Lider Kanadyjskiej Ligi Monarchistycznej (The Monarchist League of Canada - http://www.monarchist.ca/new/index.html), pan John Aimers zostal posadzony o rzekome seksualne molestowanie nieletniego pod wplywem upojenia narkotyczno-alkoholowego. Sprawa wydarzyla sie 30 lat temu, kiedy pan Aimers byl nauczycielem.
Tak sie zlozylo, ze jestem czlonkiem tej zacnej kanadyjskiej organizacji. Jestem kanadyjskim monarchista. Oczywiscie cala ta afera nie moze wplynac negatywnie na cala organizacje i jej cel popierania monarchii w Kanadzie, ale jakis niesmak pozostaje.
W miedzyczasie otrzymalem tez zaproszenie od polskich monarchistow. Z Unii Polskich Ugrupowan Monarchistycznych (http://szlachecki-klub-feniks.com/). Czy to znak, ze czas zmienic organizacje i wrocic do swoich?

The cause of the Monarchy and the work of the Monarchist League of Canada is far more important than any one person. In the current circumstances, I will not be speaking on the League's behalf until this matter is resolved, and I have consulted with the Officers to arrange for its day-to-day functioning. I am sorry that this distracts from the devoted efforts of the League's members and friends across Canada.
SEX SUIT NAMES MONARCHIST LEAGUE CHIEF
ALLEGATIONS UNPROVEN
BY ALLISON LAMPERT
The chairman of the Monarchist League of Canada has been named in a class-action lawsuit alleging he molested a 13-year-old boy nearly 30 years ago when he was a teacher at an expensive private school in Montreal.
Petitions filed yesterday in Quebec Superior Court say John Aimers, now an English teacher at a private Toronto school, sexually assaulted a former Selwyn House student, known as "D.J.," in 1977.
Mr. Aimers did not return repeated calls for comment. No criminal charges have been brought against him and the allegations made yesterday were contained in a lawsuit not yet tested in court. A statment of defence has not been filed.
The lawsuit also accuses a second teacher, James Hill, of molesting a former student at the all-boys school, where tuition runs up to $17,000 a year. Mr. Hill also could not be reached. He has not been charged criminally, and the allegations against him are also unproven in court.
According to the court documents, Mr. Aimers, a respected debating coach, allegedly offered to tutor D.J. at his home, where he plied the boy with liquor and marijuana.
"Thereafter, Aimers procedded to fondle D.J.'s crotch and attempted to forcibly remove D.J.'s pants," the lawsuit reads. "Aimers kissed D.J. and forced his tongue into D.J.'s mouth and put his penis in D.J.'s mouth," the court documents say.
Yesterday's petitions follow similar allegations brought last September against a now-deceased Selwyn House teacher by a third former student.
The petitioners are asking for $19-milion for each of the two latest cases. Although the two teachers have not worked at the school for more than 25 years, the lawsuit is targeting Selwyn House for breach of trust.
"Selwyn House School knew, or ought to have known, of Aimers's actions involving [the student] and other male youths," the petition says.
The headmaster of the Toronto French School, a co-ed bilingual school where Mr. Aimers now teaches Grade 7 English, learned of the lawsuit yesterday afternoon after being contacted by Selwyn House.
Jean Brugeniau spent the rest of the day trying to reach Mr. Aimers, who works as a part-time teacher and was not on campus.
"Obviously, we are taking this situation very seriously. Out first priority is to try to reach Mr. Aimers." Mr. Brugeniau said Mr. Aimers has worked as a part-time English teacher at the TFS since 1998, and this year teaches two calsses at the Toronto campus. He instructs about 35 students, Mr. Brugeniau said.
The headmaster said he is working on a plan to inform parents and students of the lawsuit, but would not discuss Mr. Aimers' employment future at the school. "It could go obviously as far as suspending the teacher, but I'm not going to give any indication of what we will do," he said.
"Clearly we want to protect our children, our students, and we will act appropriately." Mr. Brugeniau said there have been no complaints about Mr. Aimers' conduct.
Members of the Monarchist League, which Mr. Aimers founded in 1970 and still chairs today, said yesterday they were not aware of the allegations. "I hadn't hear anything about this at all. I cannot imagine it," said Marlene McCracken, chiarwoman of the group's Kingston branch.

CHAIRMAN ABSENT FROM MONARCHIST LUNCHEON
NAMED IN SEX ABUSE SUIT
BY ANNE MARIE OWENS
TORONTO - In the social calendar of the devoted monarchist, the celebration of the Queen's accession to the throne is one of the highlights of the year.
Yesterday's annual luncheon in a ballroom of the city's venerable King Edward Hotel was marked by the noticeable absence of John Aimers, the man who founded the Monarchist League of Canada and who is its chief executive officer, and who, for 30 years, has been the most prominent face and voice advocating on behalf of the monachy in Canada.
ALLEGATIONS HAVE NOT BEEN PROVEN
Mr. Aimers has been named in a class-action lawsuit over allegations of sexual abuse involving students at a prestigious Montreal private school, Selwyn House. The allegations, which are contained in a statement of claim filed in court last week, have not yet been tested in court.
Mr. Aimers, who has not yet responded to the allegations, was a teacher at Selwyn House more than 25 years ago.
The lawsuit, filed by petitioners who named two former teachers in their application, seek $19-million each and targets the school itself, charging that Selwyn House knew or ought to have known what was going on.
Mr. Aimers is currently a teacher at the Toronto French School, where he has taught English since 1998. Jean Brugeniau, the school's headmaster, was meeting yesterday to determine how the private school would respond to the allegations and publicity involving one of its teachers.
At the Accession Day Luncheon, meanwhile, organizers said Mr. Aimers had "stepped aside" for the day's events, but that no future decisions had been made by the organization or Mr. Aimers.
The organizers, who would not reveal their names and who asked reporters to leave their private function, said Mr. Aimers remains the chairman of the Monarchist League of Canada.
Repeated calls to Mr. Aimers were not returned.
