Former North Thompson man jailed for life
KAMLOOPS — A former North Thompson valley resident has been declared a dangerous offender and jailed for life for child sex crimes.
The judge handed down the sentence in BC Supreme Court today, after the man was convicted of sexual interference of a person under 14, making or publishing child pornography, and possession of child pornography.
A publication ban prevents us from mentioning the name of the accused and the locations of the offences.
That’s a more stringent ban than is usually imposed on such cases, and Crown Prosecutor Neil Flanagan says he sought the ban in order to protect the identities of the victims.
