Former VicPD, and Saanich Police reservist sentenced in historic sexual abuse case involving 15-year-old, Friday.
Former police reservist Aaron Plater was sentenced today for sexually abusing a 15-year-old in a historic case that took place 27 years ago.His victim, only 15 at the time of the abuse, looked up to him as a mentor in the police cadet program.He told the court, “It’s not my fault. I didn’t do anything wrong. I did not ask for this.”Special Prosecutor Kris Pechet said the victim suffered for years as a result of the abuse.
“You could hear the emotion in the victim’s voice. As I mentioned, it’s like throwing a pebble into water, the ripple effects go for a considerable period in all directions. That’s certainly been the case for the victim in terms of his family, in terms of his marriage, in terms of his children,” Pechet said.But when he was charged in 2021 with one count of touching a young person for a sexual purpose, Plater lost his job as an executive director working in the Attorney General’s ministry.
“In terms of the consequences for both parties. Yes. One suffered earlier. And now Mr. Plater is suffering by virtue of the allegations, and the conviction,” Pechet said.Sign up for our newsletter to get breaking news and daily digests sent to your email.The first three months will be served under house arrest, only ever leaving to work at his job driving for a bakery, or to get groceries.
In addition to probation, Plater will also pay the victim more than 16 thousand dollars in compensation for counselling.
