PEDO Belfast Pastor to be Extradited From Canada on Child Sexual Assault Charges
Belfast Pastor to be Extradited to Northern Ireland on Child Sexual Assault Charges
James Henry Clarke, a retired pastor from Belfast, will be extradited to Northern Ireland from Canada to face trial for sexually assaulting two children.
BBC 18 AUG 2023
James Henry Clarke, an 80-year-old retired pastor who admitted in the 1980s to sexually abusing two children in Northern Ireland, is set to be extradited from Canada.
Clarke's application for a judicial review of the Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada's decision to have him extradited has been dismissed, documents from the Court of Appeal for Saskatchewan dated August 9 show.
"He's decided to not challenge the Court of Appeal's decision and he's going to go back to Northern Ireland to face these charges," Chris Veeman, Clarke's lawyer, said, according to CBC.
"The Canadian government will arrange transport for him and then hand him over."
Veeman said this should happen within the next 45 days.
