Nearly eight years after Ernest Fenwick MacIntosh was reported to be abusing children in India, Canadian authorities won't say if they've ever tried to protect foreign children from him.

MacIntosh, a Port Hawkesbury businessman who has faced many abuse allegations in Canada, was jailed recently in Nepal after a complaint he assaulted a boy there, the Himalayan Times reported Friday.

Justice Minister Peter MacKay confirmed this week that MacIntosh, 71, has been arrested.

"I have long held a strong interest in this file and I was dismayed to hear that another child has been victimized," said MacKay in a statement.
