Inclusion Canada demands justice in light of inadequate sentencing in Brent Gabona case
On Wednesday, January 24, Brent Gabona was sentenced to 6 1/2 years in prison for sexual abuse against residents of Shepherd's Villa, a group home for people with intellectual disabilities in Saskatchewan.
Inclusion Canada vehemently opposes such an inadequate punishment, which is markedly less than the 15 years sought by the Crown.
In a press release, Inclusion Canada calls on the Crown to utilize all permissible legal measures, including an appeal, to ensure just sentencing. The justice system must recognize the profound impact of this case and take all necessary steps to ensure justice is done well.
We believe that the sentence must reflect the egregious nature of the crimes and the number of victims repeatedly harmed over 17 years.
