1. They won't convict a 17 year old as an adult in Canada

2. With no evidence they can bring it to court, but couldn't find him guilty without something (maybe make a restraining order).

3. The Canadian justice system is under funded and apaulingly lenient (which in this case, works in your favour). after all, Karla Homolka lured in several teenage girls (including her 15 yo sister), filmed her and Paul Bernardo raping and hacking them to little bits, and she's out after 10 freaking years, and just a couple days ago has had all her parole conditions lifted! all because she's "sorry", as is the most effective means of getting off in our system . so overall, they'll do whatever they can to keep another person out of jail. (though a criminal record certainly doens't help in getting a job)
mrdevious Reviewed by mrdevious on . I really really need help! Ok. This is for anyone who has any sort of idea on how the court systems work in canada, people who have maybe been through it. Ok. My boyfriend is in trouble. In January 2005, he allegedly sexually assaulted a woman twice his age. He's had several different court appearances, the last one in early august. They set him another date for January 31, 2006. This is over a year since the incident occured. They also have no circumstantial evidence, since the claim was filed 2 weeks after it Rating: 5
