Jail unlikely for youth who admitted to making child porn
Posted Nov 12, 2014 on metronews.ca
Wayne MacKay, a lawyer in Halifax specializing in cyberbullying, said that it is very unlikely that the 20-year-old man who submitted a guilty plea to making child pornography will get a jail sentence.
This because he committed the offence when he was only 17 years old, and it was also his first offence so the sentence will most likely be not harsh, according to MacKay.
A more harsh penalty will only be had for those who create and distribute intimate images if the Criminal Code will be amended, the lawyer added.
The father of the girl whose image the youth took while another guy was having sex with her, is crying foul over that possibility of no jail sentence.
His daughter had died following complications of a suicide attempt after she was bullied when that compromising photo of her got spread among people who goes to the same school as she does.
The girl was 15 during the incident and was 17 when she took her life.
The youth had sworn that he only took the photo and sent it to the guy who had sex with the girl.
The other guy has also been ordered to stand trial for distributing child pornography.
One month jail stay for man who attacks girlfriend's cat
Posted Nov 12, 2014 on thechronicleherald.ca
Nathan Jonathan Cormier will be spending a month in jail after he submitted a guilty plea to charges related to animal cruelty.
Cormier was accused of brutally attacking the cat of his girlfriend, Amanda Shaw.
He claimed that the cat had bitten him and showed one of his fingers with a small scratch which the police said does not seem to be a bite mark.
He started with hitting the cat with the scratching post, then trying to scald it while Shaw was attempting to clean it in the bathroom.
Not satisfied with what he has done so far, Cormier grabbed the animal by its neck and back, attempted in breaking its neck, threw it on the floor before slamming the door of the bathroom on it.
Cormier only stopped and left when other people got into their apartment when Shaw started screaming.
The cat had suffered several injuries to the head but is expected to recover.
The Crown had asked for a three-month jail stay while Halifax criminal lawyer Kishan Persaud, defending for Cormier, only asked for a probation for his client citing that it was his first offence and that he is suffering from mental problems.
After his one-month jail stay, the judge also ordered Cormier to undergo a one-year probation.
He has also been ordered not to contact Shaw, and to undergo treatment for substance abuse and anger management.

Brian Awad, a lawyer in Halifax defending for Brown, was satisfied with the penalty meted on his client, calling it just fair.

Man refutes murder allegations
Kevin Rubletz is denying that he had a hand in the death of his former girlfriend, Jessica Newman, whose body was found in May.
Newman was first reported missing in March before her body was found in a ditch.
Rubletz and Newman shared a child and had been reportedly locked in a custody battle.
Calgary criminal lawyer Brendan Miller is representing Rubletz, who is facing a second-degree murder in relation to Newman's death.
Miller said that he is still waiting for the disclosure from the Crown and that there is a possibility that his client will be seeking bail.
Calgary immigration lawyer wants amnesty for Nepalese workers on temporary permits
Nepal citizens who are working in Canada on a temporary permit should be given a reprieve, according to Calgary immigration lawyer Raj Sharma.
Sharma said that the Canadian government should do something for the foreign workers from Nepal which recently suffered from a very strong earthquake.
The lawyer has proposed to have the foreign workers from Nepal be given permanent residency as some of them already had their permits expiring.
He said that a little less than 400 Nepalese are working in Canada under the temporary foreign worker program.
Sharma added that with the catastrophe, it will not be appropriate to be sending them back to Nepal.
National defence expresses desire to settle sex assault claims
London litigator Phillip Millar and lawyers of the Justice Department are working together after the Department of National Defence said it wanted to settle the claims made by eight women who alleged they were sexually assaulted by the department's medical technician.
According to the victims, they were subjected to a breast examination wherein they were touched inappropriately by James Wilks.
Wilks had denied the claims of the women and that he had done the examinations according to the standard procedure.
In 2013, several women including four of the five who have filed a claim, brought their complaints against Wilks in a court martial wherein he was convicted for several counts of breach of trust and sexual assault. The military judge gave his nod to proof that the victims, all under 40, did not have to undergo the breast examination.
He was sentenced to two years and six months which he hasn't started serving yet because he has appealed the conviction.
It was not the first time that Wilks has been convicted by a court martial because in 2011, he was also handed a nine-month sentence after he was convicted of charges of the same nature.
Millar said his clients are happy that the National Defence wants to go for a settlement.
