Time served for nasty assaults on woman
David LeBlanc, 36, also gets community-based sentence for committing perjury about living at Quebec residence when he was really living in tent under Burton Bridge in Maugerville
A homeless man who choked a woman, assaulted her with weapons and burned her skin with cigarettes was sentenced Friday to time already served for those crimes, given his remorse and clean prior record.
David LeBlanc, 36, of no fixed address, appeared in Fredericton provincial court by video from a provincial jail Friday for a sentencing hearing on numerous charges.
He pleaded guilty last year to Aug. 10 counts of assault, assault by choking, assault with weapons (a wooden pallet and a glass bottle), assault causing her bodily harm and threats to cause death and/or bodily harm.
The crimes all related to the same woman.
