Teen sexually abused kid sister for 3 years
Victim told her parents about ongoing molestation, but social workers, police were only contacted after girl told camp counsellor this summer about what her brother was doing
A 16-year-old boy from western New Brunswick sexually abused his younger sister for three years, beginning when she was only nine, a court heard last week.
The teenage offender appeared in Fredericton youth court for a sentencing hearing Friday, having previously pleaded guilty to counts of sexual assault and touching a minor for a sexual purpose between Jan. 1, 2021, and July 12, 202.
Given his age, his identity is protected under the provisions of the Youth Criminal Justice Act, as is the identity of his younger sister, the victim in the case.
The family lives in a rural area of western New Brunswick, and the Fredericton Independent isn’t specifying where the abuse occurred either so as to avoid identifying the young people.
