A P-E-I man has pleaded guilty in Summerside provincial court to sexually assaulting an underage girl.
Court heard Thursday that the accused fathered a child with his then 15-year-old girlfriend when he was 26.
The Crown is seeking a jail term of between two-and-a-half and three years, and the lawyer for the accused has requested a sexual deviancy report to help the judge with sentencing.
According to the Crown, the Summerside Police Services and Child Protection Services were aware of allegations the accused was living with and having sex with the victim prior to her pregnancy, but couldn’t prove it until authorities learned the girl was pregnant in early 2015.
