Mother Of Sexual Assault Victim Stabs Man Who Did It With Scissors In Court Yesterday

/

From a Peterborough-Lakefield Community Police Service today...

Assault With A Weapon:
On the 1st of April at approximately 5:30 pm, a 38-year-old male from Peterborough was to be sentenced on a sexual assault charge.  The Presiding Justice adjourned the case to another date.  The mother of the sexual assault victim in this case, a 38-year-old female from Hastings, was in the court at the time, approached, and stabbed the male using a small pair of scissors from a manicure set.  The female was arrested and charged with assault with a weapon, uttering death threats and possession of a dangerous weapon.  The victim was taken to Hospital by ambulance where he was treated and released.  Due to the nature of the court case, the name of the accused will not be released, as it will lead to the identification of her 15-year-old daughter, a sexual assault victim.  The Magnetometer was functioning at the time and the small pair of scissors from the manicure set was not seized, as it was not an item listed on the prohibited list.  The policy concerning these types of items, cosmetic sets, entering the courthouse is presently under review.

Election Peterborough: How Social Media Will Have An Impact (And How To Interact With Local Candidates)

/

In the past, it was much easier for politicians to avoid any meaningful dialogue with constituents while they were out on the campaign trail: to hide behind attack ads or to stick to carefully prepared key messages written by party spin doctors.

That is beginning to change, thanks to social media.

We, the citizens of Peterborough, can now do the following:

 • engage with the political candidates on Twitter and on Facebook, asking that they run a campaign that is about issues and that they steer clear of personal attacks, half-truths, and hyperbole;
 
• insist that they provide factual, verifiable answers about their political record and that they spell out their plans for our riding in as much detail as possible;
 
• attend public events featuring the candidates and share audio and video footage of those presentations with our fellow voters via social media;
 
• write to the candidates about issues that matter to us and share their responses so that everyone can benefit from what we learn.
 
I intend to monitor the Facebook pages and Twitter feeds for Dean Del Mastro (CPC), Betsy McGregor (Lib), Dave Nickle (NDP), and the Green Party candidate (when that person is declared). I hope you will, too.

I hope you'll ask them questions and engage them in conversation so that, come voting day, you'll have a clear sense of which candidate will do the best job of representing the interests of the citizens of Peterborough Riding.
