The Gwen Jacobs case reached the Supreme Court of Ontario, so it is legally binding in Ontario, only.

But it is a decision that will almost certainly be respected all over the country.

Reubens fought back for more than two years, but on March 19?facing prosecutors determined to make an example of him in what they called their stand against the ?sexual exploitation of children ??he agreed to plead guilty to a misdemeanor obscenity charge, pay a $100 fine, and register with the police for three years. There would be no show trial for Pee-wee Herman, but the damage was done.
