A man sits in the dock today at the Provincial Court accused of sexually abusing a woman in March 2022. He faces a sentence of two years in prison. The facts judged consist of the touching that the accused made to a friend of his then partner. The defendant went into the bedroom of the home he shared with his partner where the friend of his now ex-partner was sleeping. While she was sleeping, he began to touch her. When the events occurred, the friend left the room to go to sleep in the living room, where the harassment continued.
