Sex-crime suspect applying for legal aid
Christopher Brian Robert Jones, 35, of Hawkins Corner, accused of offences against minors
A Hawkins Corner man who made his first appearance Tuesday on several charges alleging sexual offences against two minors sought an adjournment so he could retain defence counsel.
Christopher Brian Robert Jones, 35, of Nackawic Siding Road in Hawkins Corner - about 60 kilometres northwest of Fredericton and 40 kilometres east of Woodstock, appeared in Fredericton provincial court Tuesday to face five serious charges for the first time.
Three of the RCMP charges allege he touched one underage complainant for a sexual purpose, exposed his genitals to that child for a sexual purpose and counselled the minor to touch him for a sexual purpose.
