Just a year? I wonder how many years he has been in prison in his mind over this. And how many more haven’t come forward. May this start him on the road to full recovery.

It may not be a good thing, but the sentence isn’t that unusual for such cases. Thirty years ago a teacher who had lured multiple students got only a few years.

Also, the criminal justice system in Canada is supposed to be leaning more on the “harm reduction and rehabilitation” side than strictly “punishment.” While it’s hard to say if this woman can be “rehabilitated,” the fact that there is very little chance of re-offending due to her age and the fact that she is no longer a teacher, the “rehab” is sort of moot.
Keeping her in jail will only cost the taxpayers with no benefit to society, and will occupy a space that’s better served by keeping an active criminal there.

In Saudi Arabia, she would have a wall crashed over her for this.
That’s really the standard, for me.

Blork – Please, walk up to this man, who she abused in 1981 and tell him that. That she doesn’t deserve to be in jail for what she did to him, so we can save a few bucks.

Makes me angry. So very sad. She ruined his life. Our justice system doesn’t take these crimes as seriously as they should.
He may not even be the only one…she’s probably done this to other kids.

JP – Sadly, you’re right; am sure there must have been more children violated by this horrible woman. 12 months is a joke; force her to wake up every single day in a jail cell…just like he has.

Ephraim, I didn’t say she doesn’t deserve to be in jail. I’m just presenting a perspective on why a shorter sentence might have been given in this case.
