A teenager who was sentenced this week for sexually assaulting a six-year-old girl won’t have his name added to Canada’s sex offender registry, after all.
Assistant Crown attorney Carey Lee brought the matter back before the court yesterday, requesting that Ontario Court Justice Norman Bennett rescind the order. Lee said on double-checking the Criminal Code, he discovered the youth could not be registered as a sex offender unless the Crown had applied to sentence him as an adult.
That did not happen in this case. The accused was sentenced in youth court to six months in custody, three months on a community supervision order and two years of probation. The boy’s DNA profile will still be registered with the national DNA data bank.
The boy, who was 14 at the time, admitted to subjecting the young girl to sexual intercourse on four or five occasions between January and late March of 2007.
