Inverness Co. “Spoon Man” returns to court

A musician from Inverness Co.’s sex assault case is expected to return to court Monday.

Police charged Gerry Deveau, 85, following a 2010 incident involving a 10-year-old girl in St. Joseph du Moine.

Deveau was sentenced to six months behind bars for failing to travel to a scheduled appointment by the most direct route in April 2018.

RCMP charged him with another sexual assault count in relation to an incident in Margaree in 1996; the complainant in the case was 17 at the time.

Deveau was scheduled to stand trial in that case in Port Hawkesbury Provincial Court September 10; it didn’t go forward, instead it was adjourned.

It has been adjourned in Jun. 2019, November, and August.

He is scheduled for a hearing to set a date Monday.

The Belle Cote man, known as the “Spoon Man”, was sentenced to 12 months of house arrest and 12 months of probation in March 2018; he was placed on the sex offender registry for a 10-year period.
