[3] When asked by the Crown Attorney Mitchell Flagg "Other than the money, was there any other reason that you provided information to the police when you were a teenager?
[3] Gault became a member, together with several of his relatives of a nomadic band known variously as "the Travelers" or "the Wanderers" that operated in the rural areas of eastern Ontario that targeted elderly farmers by engaging in home renovation scams.
[1] Besides specializing in cheating senior citizens out of their life savings, Gault bit off the ear of a man in a bar fight in Campbellford.
[5] In 1996, Gault became involved with an 18-year-old woman named Linda Sebastiao, whom he started living with a month after they met and in 1997 he fathered a daughter by her.
"[6] However, as the years went on, Sebastiao alleges that her relationship with Gault moved into a darker direction as she stated that he became jealous, dominating, possessive, and brutal.
[6] Sebastiao alleges that Gault did not allow her to have a driver's license and that he frequently beat her, once because the toilet paper did not roll in a manner pleasing to him.
[7] Gault was working on a house in Warsaw, Ontario when he met a member of the Satan's Choice Motorcycle Club, William "Mr. Bill" Lavoie, by chance and ending up befriending him.
[9] Gault cultivated a bloodthirsty image, boasting about he how had bitten off a man's ear, and adopted as his biker name "Hannibal".
On that day, in a much publicized ceremony, most of the Ontario outlaw biker gangs such as Satan's Choice, the Vagabonds, the Lobos, the Last Chance, the Para-Dice Riders and some of the Loners travelled to Hells Angels' "mother chapter" clubhouse in Sorel-Tracy, just south of Montreal to join the Hells Angels, making them at one stroke the dominant outlaw biker club in Ontario.
[13] One police officer told the journalist Jerry Langton about the mass "patch over" in Sorel: "They [the Angels] were truly scraping the bottom of the barrel.
"[6] As a Hell Angel, Gault promoted the image of himself being a "wild man", waving about his handgun, showing off the newspaper reports about his assault conviction for the ear-biting incident, and hinting very strongly that he had committed a murder.
[7] The Hells Angel David Atwell who worked as a police informer described Gault as "...a real hardcore criminal-he had even bragged about killing people".
[7] Sebastiao alleges that Gault neglected his family in favor of partying and cocaine use, became more abusive and wanted to have an ex-girlfriend move in.
[7] Gault made aggressive use of the Angels' "arbitrations" (the internal tribunals to settle disputes between the club's members), denying the allegations and pressing for Akleh to be expelled instead.
"[6] She alleges that Gault once threatened to kill her by stripping her naked, tying her to a tree in the forest, covering her with honey and letting the animals and insects eat her alive.
[4] In 2005, Gault bonded with Gerald "Skinny" Ward, the president of the Angels' Niagara chapter, during a motorcycle ride to Prince Edward Island, and having gained his trust, suggested he do business with him.
[22] Shortly before his death in a motorcycle accident on 7 September 2006, Lavoie had been expressing regret at having sponsored Gault in 1999, accusing him of being an informer.
[25] When the Project Tandem raids were launched on 28 September 2006 the police arrested 27 people including 15 full patch Hells Angels.
[26] On 28 September 2006, two Hells Angels, Remond "Ray" Akleh of Ottawa and Mark Stephenson of Oshawa were charged with ordering Gault to kill Frank Lenti, the national president of the Bandidos.
[28] Akleh stated that despite being a Hells Angel that he befriended Constable Denis as both men and their families were being harassed by Gault, which led him to become an informer.
[33] Akleh's lawyer, Glenn Orr, argued very forcefully that only "an imbecile or a moron" would try to recruit a man whom he already accused of being an informer to serve as a hitman.
[28] On 18 January 2009, Akleh and Stephenson were acquitted of conspiring to murder Lenti with the jury ruling that Crown's case rested entirely on the unreliable word of Gault.
[35] In February 2009, Terry Pink, the president of the Angels' Simcoe County chapter, was convicted of selling 8,340 ecstasy tablets to Gault.
[38] Ultimately, 21 Hells Angels were convicted of various drug, weapons, and membership of a criminal organization charges brought about in connection with Project Tandem.
"[6] Legal experts state that Sebastiao has a strong case against Gault, but because he is living in witness protection that it is very unlikely that she can force him to pay child support.
