NOT GUILTY: The missing Gerald Regan Chapters, Part 2

Gerald Regan, who died Monday at 91, was a prominent 20th-century Canadian politician, a federal Liberal cabinet minister and two-term premier of Nova Scotia. He was also a serial sexual abuser of young women who spent much of the 1990s fighting off criminal allegations involving more than three dozen women whose complaints stretched over four decades. Halifax journalist Stephen Kimber wrote the 1999 book, NOT GUILTY: The Trial of Gerald Regan. Because Regan had been found not guilty, however, his publisher decided to excise two chapters from the original manuscript. Here is the second of those two chapters.

On March 15, 1995, the RCMP charged Nova Scotia’s 19th premier with what would eventually become more than 30 counts of sexual misconduct, including rape, involving nearly three dozen women over a 40-year period, dating from his days as a […]

Stephen Kimber joins the Examiner team

November 3, 2016 By Tim Bousquet 7 Comments

When I first moved to Nova Scotia, my guidepost for trying to understand this place was Stephen Kimber. Kimber was at that time writing features and columns for The Coast.
