A Sherbrooke, Quebec, Canada, man accused of child abuse has been arraigned on 8 additional charges including sexual assault and incest following his and his wife's July 21 arrest.
On July 21st, the couple, a 34-year-old man and a 27-year-old woman were facing four charges each in relation to one of the children for forcible confinement, assault, assault causing bodily harm and failure to provide the necessaries of life.
Three young children were removed from the family's home in Sherbrooke and placed in foster care outside of the city. One, a five-year-old boy, was found badly malnourished. The other two children, girls aged four and six, were in better condition.
A fourth child, aged 14, did not live in the family home but was identified by police as being removed from the couple's care.
On Thursday, the man was arraigned on three charges of sexual contact with a minor, three charges of invitation of sexual touching with a minor, one charge of sexual assault and one charge of incest.
Six of the eight additional charges are for incidents that allegedly took place between 2005 and 2008. The other two charges are for offences allegedly committed between 2013 and 2014.
So, obviously, 6 of the 8 charges were for acts allegedly committed on the now 14 year old while he/she was between 5 and 8 years old. The other two, most likely, were committed on at least one of the 3 younger children.
Under the province's Youth Protection Act, neither of the parents can be identified because it would identify the children.
Please pray for these children they have had a difficult life and will not have an easy time of it in the next little while.
