A Nova Scotia businessman whose sexual abuse convictions were overturned in Canada has reportedly been sentenced to a seven-year jail term by a Nepalese court for molesting a boy.

Ernest Fenwick MacIntosh, 71, was also handed a fine of one million Nepalese rupees, reported the Hindustan Times. That's equivalent to $12,600 Canadian.

CBC News is working to confirm the details.  (more...)
