VERNON, B.C. — A B.C. Supreme Court judge in Vernon has found Curtis Sagmoen guilty of injuring a woman.

Justice Gary Weatherill convicted Sagmoen of assault causing bodily harm Tuesday (Feb. 11) after a two day trial.

Sagmoen, 39, ran into the woman while driving an ATV on Aug. 10, 2017, causing her to flip over and break her tailbone, and suffer a concussion, among other injuries.

“The quad hit my back and he was going full speed for sure,” the victim, who can’t be identified, testified Monday. “It still causes me back problems. It hurts to walk. It’s a horrible thing to happen.”

The woman said she was going to Sagmoen’s property that day for a few hours on a quote of sex trade services costing between $900 to $1,200, but those never took place and she never was paid.

The victim says she didn’t initially go to police but eventually talked to a tribal police officer a couple weeks later.

“My mom was really concerned about what had happened and she convinced me to speak to her friend who was a native cop.”

The incident took place at a property on Salmon River Road, a similar site to two other previous incidents involving sex workers Sagmoen has been convicted of since last year.

He will be sentenced March 2.
