George Ansel Smith, 74, was not present in Supreme Court of Newfoundland in Corner Brook when his matter was called before Justice Allan Seaborn on Monday.

Smith’s lawyer Thomas Williams told the court, via telephone, that his client is in the lockup in St. John’s.

Williams asked the court to set Smith’s matter over to the next arraignment day to allow him time to review the particulars of the charges. The Crown agreed and Seaborn set the case to April 9.

In the meantime, Seaborn also put a publication ban in place to protect the identity of any complainants or witnesses in the case.
