QUEBEC:

2014 QCCA 1747

In 2014 QCCA 1747, Mr. P was charged with sexual interference, invitation to sexual touching, and sexual assault.

The incidents occurred when Mr. P was living alone with his fourteen-year-old stepdaughter, Ms. X, for a few days while her mother was away. One evening, he offered her three beers even though she had a heart condition, sexually touched and licked her, and forced her to masturbate him. He moved them to the bedroom where he digitally penetrated her. Afterwards, she locked herself in the basement. Mr. P claimed that, instead, Ms. X took nude photos of her-self to show him, walked around the house semi-nude, sexually touched him, masturbated to him while he was asleep and forced him to watch pornography with her. Mr. P was not found to be credible and was found guilty on all five charges at trial.

However, his appeal was allowed in part, overturning two counts but upholding the other three.
