No psych exam, impact statement done
Alexander M. Hawkins, 29, of Saint John awaiting sentencing for summary sexual assault
A Saint John man’s sentencing hearing for a summary sexual assault had to be delayed a second time Friday after a psychiatric assessment and a victim-impact didn’t materialize as ordered.
Alexander M. Hawkins, 29, of no fixed address, had been scheduled for sentencing in Fredericton on several charges.
Among them was a Sept. 15, 2022, count of sexual assault to which he previously pleaded guilty.
Hawkins was originally supposed to be sentenced last month, but defence lawyer Tim Murphy asked instead that his client undergo a psychiatric assessment.
