Doctor impersonation suspect gets diversion
Trevor R. Marney, 51, of Fredericton, faces charge alleging he posed as physician last year, but he likely won’t have conviction because he’s entering alternate-measures program
A Fredericton man accused of impersonating a well-known downtown doctor has been approved for an alternate-measures program that would spare him a criminal conviction for the charge.
Trevor R. Marney, 51, of Flemming Road, was charged last month with fraudulently personating Dr. Sara Davidson on Jan. 26, 2023, to obtain custody of a child.
He was back in Fredericton provincial court Tuesday, scheduled to enter a plea to the charge, but defence lawyer Emily Cochrane said the Crown had agreed to allow her client to go through an alternate-measures program rather than the usual criminal-court process.
