Judge of the Family Court of Nova Scotia
Heard: Heard at Yarmouth, Nova Scotia, October27, 2010
Written Decision: November 8, 2010
Issue: Removal of name from Child Abuse Register
Summary: The applicant was convicted of four offences under S. 271 (1) (a)
of the Criminal Code (sexual assault by touching his sister’s breasts) received house arrest and probation. The sentence has been successfully completed having been imposed in 2007. The sentence also included counselling.
Issue: Whether the Applicant poses a risk to children
Result: Based on the evidence before the court (the accused continued to deny he committed the offences) it was not proved on a balance of probabilities, the onus of which was on the applicant, that he did not now pose a risk to children. This was so given the short time line between conviction and the application. Application dismissed.
