Coaldale man convicted of sex related crimes a 5th time as Dangerous Offender assessment ordered
LETHBRIDGE – 34-year-old Coaldale resident Trevor Pritchard now has a 5th conviction added to the multitude of others in 2004, 2009, 2010, and in January 2019.
This time, the conviction related to the sexual assault and internet luring of a 15-year-old girl back in 2017.
The girl, who was in the courtroom for the sentencing, wiped away tears and tried reading her victim impact statement, but ultimately could not do so. Crown co-lawyer Sarah Goard-Baker instead, read it out for her, telling Justice Rodney Jerke how Pritchard’s crime affected her to this day.
Goard-Baker told the court on behalf of the girl, “I can not live a normal life after what happened. It’s hard for me to even want to leave my house some days, because I start to get afraid of leaving my house.
