Jack Goohsen

Jack Goohsen (born November 7, 1942)[1] is a farmer and former political figure in Saskatchewan, Canada.

In the spring of 1997, Goohsen was criminally charged after he was accused of trying to buy sex from a 14-year-old girl.

As a result of this scandal, he was not invited to join the caucus of the newly founded Saskatchewan Party when it was formed by the remaining Progressive Conservative members along with some Saskatchewan Liberal Party MLA's that summer.

Goohsen remained in the legislature as an independent member while his case made its way through the courts.

Gooshen resigned as an MLA after being convicted in 1999 on the child prostitution charge.
