They say you can run, you can hide but the police will find you. At least that seems to be the case in Canada where a senior citizen was recently arrested for things she might have or might not have done decades ago.

They say that "Age is no barrier" and that age is "just a number." In Canada age is no excuse. We treat everyone equally and everyone is "All Inclusive." Makes me wonder though? How long will they put her away for? 10 years? 20 years?

Old witch... my mother lived and was taught by Nuns in an orphanage growing up..they were evil as they could possibly be.. if this old Nun is guilty I hope whatever time she has left is hell..and when she dies she burns in the flames for eternity

Well, at least that lets everyone else know that Canada is going after sexual assault cases.

It goes a lot deeper than that. In this case, the Native demands for "truth and reconciliation " are being used to prosecute an elderly woman of 97. In my opinion this is just a show trial, to make the Native groups happy. AS PackerJohn wrote, what possible value does this trial bring to the community where she has not lived for more than 35 years ? Given her age, she may not live long enough to be tried. JimB.

Walking around in a costume, and spouting religious ideology does not mean that your soul is spotless. If she's guilty, and the law prescribes justice, I don't think the age of the perpetrator has much to do with it. The more that comes out about the Native abuse, the more it is inexcusable.

The alleged acts took place about fifty five years ago. The complainant has waited this long , to make an allegation ? I think this is a case where the defense council can rightly argue that the delay in laying the charge is highly suspect as to motive. I am very surprised that the Ontario Crown Attorney's office has decided to proceed with this trial. JimB.
 
If I read that right it seems she's being charged using a law that's no longer in effect and only used in 'historical' cases. That makes sense if that was the law at the time. Shouldn't apply current values, norms, behaviors etc to act committed decades ago.

Hopefully this sends a message to surviving perps and makes their final days uncomfortable forcing them to reflect which is probably why this victim came forward. Alot, not all people start reflecting or reminiscing in the final years. The victim probably was dealing with unfinished business/no justice

I have to respectfully disagree with you as to the motive for prosecution in this case. The Natives have been cashing in across Canada , by bringing decades old accusations in order to get monetary compensation from both the Federal Government, and churches in Canada. As in many of these cases the financial pay off is the motivation, not any attempt at obtaining justice. JimB.

You're making that up. Never happened, in any society, in any time. You're dreaming.

He's right and wrong. It's wrong not accounting for corruption, abuse, brutality etc. On the other he's right. Problem is now it's actual policy to ignore certain crimes and not just a corrupt cop or DA.

In this case they are using old laws that wouldn't be in play today. The question would be with these old cases involving the same accused are they being pursued or ignored with the same vigor every single time.
 
Evil nuns are now almost stock characters in horror movies and television; we rarely see singing nuns or flying nuns anymore. I was scared to see nuns out in public as a child; the traditional black garb gave me a grim reaper vibe…

I will point out to you that these allegations are AT LEAST 50 years old. The person making the allegations is in their 60's now. Once again, I question the extended period of time, between the supposed criminal acts, and the current day allegations. I suggest that this is simply another attempt to cash in on the gravy train. And to be clear, this case involves just one person making an allegation, against one individual. JimB.

I'm reminded that a state-mandated task force is recommending an initial $1.2 million for reparations to California’s Black residents, with the possibility of adding more funds each year in case other injustices occurring between 1933 to1977 are brought to the task force's attention.

For health disparities - $13,619 for each year of residency, based on Black Californians’ life expectancy of 71 years;
For over-policing - $115,260 or $2,352 for each year of California residency during the 49-year period from 1971 to 2020;
For housing discrimination - $148,099, or $3,366 for each year lived in California from 1933 to1977;
....and a formal apology for everything.

(One member of the task force is quoted as saying, "There probably won’t be check payments in the amount we’ve bantered around. I’ve tried to temper people’s expectations that it might not be a check.”)
 
I strongly suspect that if there had been an attempt to seek justice for the assault at the time it happened (and there may well have been) that there would have been no response. In fact victims were often punished for their attempts to bring it to the attention of the religious heads or otherwise silenced. History is rife with the mistreatment of children by various religious entities and the attempts of the religious organizations to cover it up through various means .

The time is a huge factor. Hopefully facts or lack there of result from this investigation/trial. And if they find out the accuser is an ambulance chaser charge them. Without physical evidence or documents I don't see how this leads to a guilty verdict strictly on the accuser's testimony.

and the rest.... my mother was in the orphanage under the 'care' of nuns from age 2... she was made to scrub floors on hands and knees.. and nuns would walk by and kick the bucket of water over, and she and others would be hit with a belt for making a mess.. and made to stay up until they were literally falling asleep on their feet to clean it up...

In case you wonder, my "Angry" vote was because of what they did, not because of what you said.

Yes, my mother too was raised by nuns and she told similar stories but one that always stuck out in my mind was when she was struck several times on the face and neck area with rosary beads which in those days were huge and heavy.:mad:

Ba Stards... I have never been fooled by Nuns when I see them , knowing what evil so many of them do.... .. my mother told so many stories of her life.. and because of them she married my father.. and jumped from one type of hell to another. If it wasn't for them she'd probably never have met the sperm donor and she'd be alive today...
 
I'm all for crime and punishment. However, going after "old timers" and I do mean "OLD" Timers seems strange to me. Criminals should be caught and punished as soon as they commit the crime; ideally!

However, trying to punish 97 year olds is a bit too much. I bet some of them old folks don't even remember what they really did. Let's face the fact. They are pretty well "one foot in the grave" already. The way the justice system is it takes years to go through the justice system with greedy lawyers drolling for the money. By the time, the judge's gavel will fall and the punishment will be announced this old lady might very well be cold and stiff; if you know what I mean.

I know there is a lot of "witch hunting" going on in this country. Good luck catching those evil nuns, old Nazis and other criminals. To me, it's almost like beating a dead horse. Time to move on and solve real problems that we have today and we have many. Trying to bring back the dead is pretty well useless!
