Reports in Sun Media and the Globe & Mail say charges against rogue agent David Frost involving three girls and an assault charge against a young male will be dropped Tuesday at the courthouse in Napanee.Just to be clear, David Frost is innocent until proven guilty, but that is separate from him what you may think of him as a person. Ever after everything that's been written and said about Mike Danton's destroyer, Steve Simmons' column in the Sun today overloaded the shockproof shit detector Hemingway talked about, particularly the quote from the unnamed young male's father.
It was known all along that the Crown's ability to build a case against Frost would be complicated. They had to stickhandle around the whole omertà culture which occasionally thrives miserably in junior hockey and small towns. Breaking through that is always a challenge in any sex scandal that involves children and adults in position of power.
Anyway, Back in August, two weeks before Frost was charged, it was noted here that Frost was hanging around a family member's juice bar in downtown Kingston and some townspeople were pretty unhappy about it. After that appeared, I got a string of e-mails from journalists who'd helped shed light on what happened in Deseronto a decade ago and from complete strangers who'd caught Frost's act at various arenas across Ontario. Those e-mails were written in confidence, so it doesn't seem kosher to relay what was said, but believe you me, it was shocking.
