    Sentencing Of Former Paramedic On Sexual Assault Adjourned Until October

    The Canadian Press, 18 Aug, 2015 11:34 AM
      WINDSOR, N.S. — Sentencing has been set over until October for a former paramedic convicted of sexually assaulting a 71-year-old woman in the bedroom of her rural Nova Scotia home.
       
      Judge Claudine MacDonald adjourned sentencing today until Oct. 26 at the request of James Duncan Keats's lawyer so Keats can undergo a forensic sexual offender assessment.
       
      MacDonald found Keats guilty in June of the 2013 assault, which occurred in the upstairs bedroom of the woman's home while Keats's partner tended to her ailing husband downstairs.
       
      Keats was found not guilty of a second charge of sexual assault involving the same woman in 2012.
       
      He was also acquitted of two counts of breach of trust following a trial that began last September.
       
      Keats remains free on conditions.
