Sex-crime defendant not criminally responsible
Jarett Wayne Fraser Heuff, 26, admits he tried to pull down pre-teen girl’s pants in 2021
A Pomeroy Ridge man didn’t have the mental capacity to appreciate the nature and consequences of the sexual offence he perpetrated against a young girl in McAdam more than two years ago.
Jarett Wayne Fraser Heuff, 26, of Clark Point Road in Pomeroy Ridge, about 50 kilometres south of McAdam, has been before provincial court in Fredericton several times over the past year on charges of sexual assault and sexual interference.
He was accused of touching a girl for a sexual purpose between Oct. 30 and 31, 2021.
The main issue in the case wasn’t if Heuff committed the crimes, but rather his mental state, both through the court process and at the time of the offences.
