Decade-old sex offence draws probation
Québec City man, now 27, was underage at time of crime, now serves in Canadian Forces
A Québec City man was sentenced to probation this week for a sex-crime he perpetrated against a young girl when he was also a minor.
The offender appeared before Justice Cameron Gunn in Fredericton provincial court Wednesday for sentencing, after previously pleading guilty to touching a minor for sexual purpose in Oromocto between July 1, 2010 and Aug. 31, 2015.
While Gunn is a judge of the Court of King’s Bench, he was still a provincial court judge when he was initially seized with the case, explaining why he was appearing once again in the lower court.
Court heard previously that the RCMP investigated a complaint about the defendant, alleging that when he was between the ages of 13 and 15, he had sexually abused a girl who’d been only six to eight years old during the relevant timeframe.
