The Fifth Estate: Scandal of the Century |

I have watched the Fifth Estate program on TV and I have been taken by the merciless |
and concerted behaviour of the police, social services and justice system in firstly | |
accusing the Klassen family members for sexually assaulting children in their foster | |
home and then when they discovered the Klassens were innocent they continued to | |
cover up the truth under the false pretense to protect the children. | |
|
|
Michelle |
I am content that this dramatic story has reached the public at large and we have therefore |
the hope that justice can take its course against the willingness of both the police and this | |
government. The story began when Michelle Ross accused Rick Klassen of sexually | |
abusing her while she was a foster child in the home of Rick Klassen's brother Dale in | |
|
1989. |
|
|
Corporal |
The ensuing sexual investigation was conducted by Corporal Brian Dueck of the |
Saskatoon City Police and the consequences of this malicious investigation have caused | |
criminal charges, time in jail, and continuous nightmares for many people including the | |
Klassen family. All the charges were eventually cleared and now we have the confessions | |
that Michael Ross was the perpetrator of sexual assaults against his sisters Michelle | |
and Katherine, and that all the accusations against the Klassens were the fabrications of | |
these children as influenced by their talking with Corporal Brian Dueck(1). | |

|
lawsuit |
You can read the detailed documentation of this scandal at the web site |
http://www.injusticebusters.com but what I find very interesting in this scandal is the | |
lawsuit launched by the Klassen family against the police, social service and the justice | |
department. In this lawsuit, the Klassens are asking "punitive and exemplary damages | |
in an amount exceeding $10,000,000.00 or in such amount as this Honourable Court | |
deems just(2)." Finally, we have a lawsuit including punitive damages and it is time that | |
the justice of common law takes over the nofault administration of our governmental | |
agencies. | |
|
|
justice |
We have been documenting for sometime the decadent state of our democracy and the |
related need to take charge of our rights as individuals. Therefore, I applaud the Klassens | |
for pursuing this course of justice for themselves but above all for all of us, and | |
re-establish the principle that we must not tolerate any fraudalent behaviour from our | |
governmental administration, especially from the police, social service and the justice | |
department. | |
