A Halifax man has been convicted of sexually assaulting a sleeping woman.
Robert Shawn Burton told the court he and the woman were engaged in consensual foreplay but when intercourse began, he stopped when she asked what he was doing. The complainant testified there was no consent to any sex acts saying she was asleep.
The judge said Burton’s version of events was not credible, based on text messages Burton sent to the victim afterwards.
Fisheries Minister Keith Colwell says officials haven’t found any scientific reason for a fish kill at an aquaculture site in Shelburne Harbour.
Officials say the fish farm experienced a higher than expected mortality rate after it was damaged in a storm last month…but testing determined none died of disease. The exact number of dead fish is still being determined by Cooke Aquaculture as it finishes harvesting pens in the area.
