Former teacher Amy Hood has been sentenced in New Glasgow court to 15 months house arrest on four sex-related charges involving two former students.
40 year old Hood had faced a mandatory minimum sentence of one year in jail, but Judge Del Atwood said that would be grossly disproportionate in this case. Atwood said there was physical sexual contact with only one of the boys.
The Crown lawyer wanted federal prison time and expressed disappointment at the judge’s decision.
A Father and son in North Prestonn have been fined for animal cruelty.
Warren Cain and his son Makell each pleaded guilty to six counts under the Animal Protection Act after 24 pittbulls and puppies were seized from their property in early October. Warren Cain has been banned from owning animals for life and ordered to pay the SPCA $11,000. His son was fined $1,000 and banned from owning animals for 15 years.
Officials said the dogs were housed in an area filled with excrement and no protection from the heat or cold.
