Grandfather accused of incest
68-year-old Fredericton man opts for trial by Court of King’s Bench judge alone, seeks preliminary inquiry on allegations he sexual assaulted, touched two underage complainants
A Fredericton man accused of sexually assaulting and touching two minors between 2020 and 2023 - as well as having intercourse with his own grandchild - is seeking a superior court trial.
The 68-year-old defendant was scheduled to elect mode of trial Tuesday in Fredericton provincial court on several indictable charges.
There’s a court-ordered publication ban protecting the identities of the underage complainants in the case, and given the defendant’s relationship to one of them, the Fredericton Independent isn’t naming him either so as to comply with the ban.
The Fredericton senior is accused of having sexual intercourse with a minor knowing that child was his grandchild.
