    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    The Saskatchewan Court of Appeal is upholding a federal decision to surrender a man who confessed to child abuse for extradition to Northern Ireland.

    Court heard Clarke’s appeal of the federal order in February and released its ruling earlier this month.

    “I’ve had tremendous support from the community and I’ve accepted responsibility and any time that I’ve had the opportunity, or [have been] asked, I’ve open and honest about what I did [about] 52 years ago,” Clarke said.

    According to the Court of Appeal decision from Aug. 9 of this year, the authorities in Northern Ireland decided to prosecute Clarke after a BBC documentary.

    "During an interview, Mr. Clarke admitted to a BBC journalist that he had indecently assaulted teenage boys in care homes in Northern Ireland.

    This acknowledgement led the Public Prosecution Service for Northern Ireland to ask the police to conduct a fresh investigation into these matters."


    I’m a bot and I’m open source!
