Prominent Canadian Diving Coach Gets Conditional Sentence For Sex Offences Against Minor

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 25 Mar, 2016 01:14 PM
    VICTORIA — A Victoria diving coach convicted of multiple sexual offences against a former athlete has been given a conditional sentence, including a period of house arrest.
     
    Forty-six-year-old Trevor Palmatier was convicted last year of three charges, including sexual touching a young person and buying sex from a young person, both of which occurred between 2003 and 2006.
     
    The court heard Palmatier groomed the teenager extensively while the former student was vulnerable during a family conflict.
     
    Palmatier, who now lives in Edmonton, maintains he is innocent.
     
    He was sentenced on Thursday to two years less a day, which is to be served in the community.
     
    The judge says her decision does not put the safety of the community at risk.
