Sex offender seeking to appeal conviction
Temperance Vale man sentenced in July to 10 months in jail for offence against teen girl
A Temperance Value man is challenging his conviction for trying to exploit his former girlfriend’s teenage daughter sexually, and a judge will hear his case in the spring.
The 34-year-old offender was convicted last year of a November 2021 charge of sexual exploitation, stemming from his effort to get a teenage girl to touch his penis.
The victim was the offender’s girlfriend’s daughter, and there’s a court-ordered publication ban in effect protecting her identity. Given the circumstances of the crime, the Fredericton Independent isn’t naming the offender, so as to comply with the order.
