‘Father figure’ guilty of sexual exploitation
Judge finds evidence proved Temperance Vale man invited girlfriend’s teenage daughter to touch him while he was masturbating in shower, rules he was in position of trust over her
A Temperance Vale man will return to court in the spring for sentencing after a judge found him guilty Friday of inviting a teenage girl to touch him while he was masturbating in the shower.
The 33-year-old defendant stood trial last year on a count of sexual exploitation, alleging he directed or invited a minor over whom he was in a position of trust and/or authority to touch him for a sexual purpose.
There’s a court-ordered publication ban on information that would tend to identify the victim, so the Fredericton Independent isn’t naming the offender, given the relationship between them.
Fredericton provincial court Judge Natalie LeBlanc presided over the case, and she rendered her decision Friday: guilty.
