OTTAWA - The Supreme Court of Canada declined on Thursday to hear an appeal in the case of a Quebec author acquitted of producing child pornography in connection with fictional scenes in a horror novel.
In refusing to hear the case, the Supreme Court indicated it did not have jurisdiction to consider the matter.
Quebec Superior Court last year acquitted author Yvan Godbout, who had been charged with producing child pornography over passages found in his novel, Hansel et Gretel, which include scenes of sexual abuse of a minor-aged brother and sister.
