A 43-year-old PEI man was sentenced Friday to five years in prison for two sex offences that involved years of abuse of a teenage girl.
After sentencing Joseph Gordon MacRoberts, P-E-I Supreme Court Justice Terri MacPherson turned to address the complainant and said she acknowledged the young woman had been victimized, but she didn’t see a victim.
MacPherson said that instead, she saw a strong, courageous woman who’d been to “hell and back” and was trying to make her life better.
