N.S. man seeks to withdraw guilty pleas
Andrew J.R. Quann, 38, formerly of Nasonworth, admitted to sex crimes two weeks ago
A Nova Scotia man who pleaded guilty just two weeks ago to sexual offences involving a minor dating back a decade changed his tune this week as he sought to withdraw those admissions.
Andrew J.R. Quann, 38, formerly of Nasonworth but now living in Nova Scotia, elected to be tried in provincial court and pleaded guilty Jan. 27 to charges of sexual assault and sexual interference by touching a minor for a sexual purpose.
Those RCMP charges related to events in Oromocto between Jan. 1, 2014, and Dec. 31, 2019.
There’s a court-ordered publication ban in effect protecting the identity of the victim of those two offences.
