Summer Camp Leader Admits Drugging Wife to Sexually Assault Children
In a shocking case that has sent ripples through the community, former vet Jon Ruben has confessed to administering a noxious substance to his wife to facilitate the sexual abuse of children at a summer camp he operated for nearly three decades.
Details of the Disturbing Offences
Ruben, aged 76, pleaded guilty to sexually assaulting two young boys and committing acts of child cruelty against six other victims at the holiday camp located in Stathern, Leicestershire. The court heard how he used tranquilliser-laced sweets to carry out these heinous acts, ensuring his victims were incapacitated.
Drugging of Wife to Enable Abuse
In a particularly chilling admission, Ruben acknowledged drugging his wife, Susan Ruben, with Temazepam between 26 and 29 July last year. This was done with the explicit intent of preventing her from waking while he sexually assaulted the children under his care.
Additional Charges and Upcoming Sentencing
The defendant faces further charges, including making indecent images of children and drugs-related offences. Ruben is scheduled to be sentenced this Friday, with the court expected to deliver a severe punishment for these grave crimes that have devastated multiple families.
Impact on the Local Community
The revelations have deeply affected the Stathern area, where Ruben ran the camp for 27 years. Authorities are urging anyone with additional information to come forward as they continue to investigate the full extent of his actions.
