SELECTED CASE LAW

PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND:

2018 PESC 7

In 2018 PESC 7, Mr. M pleaded guilty to sexual interference and sexual exploitation. Mr. M began dating Ms. A’s mother and quickly took over the parenting role of her two daughters through emotionally abusive behavior.

Ms. A struggled with mental health issues and bullying. At 12 years old, Mr. M started offering her a cigarette in exchange for a kiss, rubbing her back, and making sexual comments. When he texted her about taking her virginity, she told her mother.

Mr. M began sexually touching her and, shortly after, had sexual intercourse with her. They had intercourse 3-4 times a week. He used a condom until he convinced her mother she needed to be on birth control. Intercourse and fellatio, where he forced her to swallow, continued for the next two years at this rate until she reported it to a youth worker after being arrested for breaking and entering.

He was sentenced to 9 years’ incarceration.
