A North Sydney man has been found not guilty on charges that date back to the late ’90s.
56 year old Russell Wayne Newman was charged with sexual assault and sexual exploitation of a girl who was 11 or 12 at the time.
The judge noted that neither Newman nor the woman, who is now in her 30s, ever spoke about it afterwards. There were no further incidents and they maintained a friendly relationship. Justice Robin Gogan said she was left with reasonable doubt and had to find Newman not guilty.
Police are now being trained on the use of naloxone kits to counter opioid drug overdoses.
This is because of the anticipated impact of fentanyl in Cape Breton. There’s been one death on the Island linked to the drug.
Police are being outfitted with the nasal spray kits not only to save the lives of users but for their own protection. Experts say just a couple of milligrams of fentanyl can be lethal which means officers could come in contact with airborne particles in dealing with users.
