"On Friday, Leicester Crown Court was told Jon Ruben, 76, laced sweets with tranquilising drugs and attacked two children after asking youngsters to play a sweet game. Ruben, of Wayte Court, Ruddington, Nottinghamshire, admitted sexual assault of a child under 13, assault of a child under 13 by penetration, eight counts of child cruelty, three counts of making indecent images of children and four drugs charges."
"The defendant, for at least 27 years, has run a holiday camp. There is a long history of children feeling sick at the camp over many years. The rented premises, Stathern Lodge, were not connected to the camp itself, the court heard, and Ruben was in charge of youngsters there, Ms Prior said. He made the rules, she added. For many years he has played what he calls a sweet game with the children in which he goes into the bedrooms."
Jon Ruben, 76, laced sweets with tranquilising drugs and attacked two children after inviting youngsters to play a sweet game at a summer camp. Ruben admitted sexual assault of a child under 13, assault of a child under 13 by penetration, eight counts of child cruelty, three counts of making indecent images of children and four drugs charges, while denying one assault by penetration charge under prosecutors' review. The offences related to a holiday camp he ran for at least 27 years and to rented premises near a Leicestershire village. Witnesses reported a long history of children feeling sick at the camp. Ruben was remanded in custody and ordered to attend a further hearing by video-link.
