Judge sentences teen to 60 days in jail Despite a plea from counsel that his client not serve any time in jail, Judge Gary Hunter sentenced a young sex offender to 60 days in jail. A Scarborough man is spending a few weekends in jail after pleading guilty to a charge of over 80, when he appeared before Judge Garry Hunter in provincial court, Wing- ham, May 15. Attorney for the Crown Mary Dionysakopoulos told Judge Hunter that at 3:15 p.m. on March 3 a complaint was received at the Wingham OPP detachment that a man was lying in the snow on the J.T. Haig, 19, appeared in Wing- ham's provincial court on May 15 for sentencing. He had pled guilty in March to one count of invitation to sexual touching and one of sexu- side of Hwy 4 north of 3elgrave. She said that when police arrived they found a car in the ditch. It was still running and the keys were in the ignition. One man was lying outside the vehicle while another was found in the driver's seat. Paul Reed identified himself as the driv- er. There were four full bottles of beer in the car. Breathalizer readings for Reed al assault. Defense Counsel Mike Donnelly noted that a specific psychiatric diagnosis had been made and treat- were 325 mg in 100 ml of blood. He has a previous driving convic- tion from 1994 in Toronto. Duty Counsel Alan Mill asked that Reed be allowed to serve any jail term on an intermittent basis as his business "would be grossly jeopardized if he were incarcerat- ed." He was given a sentence of 21 days to be served on weekends, and is suspended from driving for two years. ment recommended for Haig, who is presently being counselled and taking medication. In his defense he said, "(My client) has indicated a willingness to comply with these recommendations. He appears gen- uinely remorseful and seems to have some insight into the serious nature of his condition and is moti- vated to accept treatment." He reminded Judge Hunter that Haig had entered a guilty plea at the first opportunity. Donnelly argued that incarcera- tion in this case would not be bene- ficial as it would interrupt Haig's counselling and because the nature of his offense would put him in contact with other convicted sex offenders. Though Donnelly said there was no denying the situation was serious in that the victims were quite young, he added, "the greatest benefit to society is that (Haig) receive treatment." The public exposure has also been a deterrent to Haig, he said. Judge Hunter, however, said he found the age of at least one of the victims a "particularly aggravating fact" and felt that a greater deter- rance was needed. He sentenced Haig to 45 days on the first count and 15 consecutive on the second. Haig will also be on probation for 18 months during which time he will not be permitted to be alone with children under the age of 16.
