A local vet accused of multiple sexual offences was in court on Monday to fix a date to continue his sentencing hearing after it was adjourned.
FORT ST. JOHN, B.C. — A local vet accused of multiple sexual offences was in court on Monday to fix a date to continue his sentencing hearing after it was adjourned earlier this year.
Justin Sewell will appear in court for the sentencing continuation from April 29th to May 3rd, 2024.
The hearing initially began on July 10th and was adjourned after four days.
The date was supposed to be fixed later in July but was rescheduled a couple of times before taking place on Monday.
The veterinarian pleaded guilty to sexual assault, unlawfully recording intimate images and voyeurism on November 15th, 2022, following a sexual assault investigation that began in 2019.
The alleged offences reportedly occurred in Charlie Lake in 2007.
In order to prevent the victim and witnesses from being identified, details from the hearing are under publication bans.
