Saturday, February 7, 2026 - A former veterinarian has been sentenced to nearly 24 years in prison for drugging and s3xually abusing young boys at summer camps in UK. Jon Ruben, 76, was described in court as using "the cloak of Christianity" to carry out attacks on vulnerable children
Leicester Crown Court heard that Ruben, labelled by his wife
as a "sadistic, monstrous p@edophile," was sentenced to 23 years and
10 months. Judge Timothy Spencer KC stated Ruben would serve an additional
period on licence, bringing the total sentence to 31 years and eight months.
Ruben had previously pleaded
guilty to multiple charges, including s3xual assault of a child under 13,
assault of a child under 13 by p3netration, eight counts of ch!ld cruelty,
three counts of making ind3cent images of chi!ldren, and four drugs charges.
During the sentencing hearing on
Friday, Judge Spencer told Ruben, "Ultimately, this case is about you
achieving s3xual gratification by carrying out your se3xual fantasies focused
upon young boys through careful, cynical, chilling preparation and by
manipulation.
The case involved the abuse of
boys at summer camps, where Ruben used his position and drugs to facilitate the
assaults.
