because they're lesbian lovers, and can continue their relationship in the clink. And the British Home Secretary is calling for porn censorship following a ruling allowing porn videos to be sold in sex shops. The Newsex Roundup rounds up the usual unusuals... nrnTORONTO - "This," said Kim Hancox, the widow of Toronto police officer Bill Hancox, at a press conference, "is absolutely wrong." "This" is the case of her husband's killers - lesbian lovers who've been incarcerated in the same prison and can continue their relationship there. But Canadian officials have indeed jailed Elaine Cece and Mary Taylor together at a minimum-to-medium security prison, Joliette Institution in Quebec, for stabbing Hancox to death in an unmarked van in 1998. The two women are in eight-room dormitory-style units which prison guards are known to call "the love shack." Press reports and political criticism have resulted in Taylor being transferred to a maximum security institution for three months for psychiatric evaluation, but Kim Hancox told the press conference Taylor could still be returned to Joliette afterward. "I want some assurance from [Canada's] solicitor general that these two will be separated forever," she told reporters. Taylor and Cece -who reportedly met during prior jail sentences - were convicted of second degree murder in January 1999 and sentenced to life for ambushing and stabbing Hancox, but Taylor - a former prostitute with about 40 prior convictions - was also convicted of beating an inmate while waiting for the trial. Corrections Canada, which oversees Canada's federal prisons, has a policy of considering prisoner requests in deciding where to imprison them; but that doesn't bind them necessarily to agreeing to those requests. Cece, who did the actual stabbing, has to serve 16 years before she's eligible for parole, compared to Taylor's having to serve 18. Cece has a far shorter criminal record, authorities said. nrnLONDON - No sooner did the High Court rule against the British Board of Film Classification and allow porn videos to be sold in sex shops than Britain's Home Secretary has begun considering a new law to protect children from hardcore. Home Secretary Jack Straw says he'll do what he thinks is needed to keep young people from being exposed to graphic sexual videos. The High Court ruled the seven porn videos in question were very unlikely to be seen by children in sex shops. Conservative politicians and anti-porn crusaders demanded explicit action almost right away, according to the British press, even though the BBFC said it wouldn't issue license to the films pending appeal. A spokesman for the Home Office told the BBC Straw would thus consider proposing legislation. nrn---Compiled by Humphrey Pennyworth
