Hard
drinking will destroy your support network of family and
friends........That advice from Mr Justice Hugh McLellan, handing down a
sentence of 2 years in jail, plus 3 years probation, to 25-year-old
Bradley Scott Wilson.
Wilson was found guilty of sexual assault in connection with a January incident at a West Side pub in Saint John.
In a
statement to the court, the victim of the assault said she quit her job
out of embarrassment and is haunted by the pain of the incident every
day.
Wilson's
defense pointed out while his client had a prior record, his offenses
were all alcohol-related, but the judge said he simply needs to learn to
stay sober.
Wilson was also entered on the sex offender registry and required to submit a DNA sample.
His mother and father have say they don't feel justice has been served.
