Canadian Senator Charged With Assault and Sexual Assault
by Joi Hubert on 02/12/13
Canadian police arrested Senator Patrick Brazeau last week Thursday (02/07/2013), on charges relating to assault and sexual assault. Brazeau spent the night in jail before being released Friday. After his release on Friday (02/08/2013), he appeared in court to hear charges read against him. Brazeau was released after posting bail, and was ordered to stay away from the alleged victim. Brazeau from Quebec, has left a lot of people disappointed and ashamed of the allegations. Brazeau was appointed to the Canadian Senate, not elected. I have the highest regard for the Canadian Government, living so close to Canada in the Detroit, Michigan area; Canada is only a 20 minute drive away. Having visited Canada many times as an United States Citizen, I have never had a problem vacationing or visiting many areas in Canada. I hope is this blur against the Canadian government is handled properly and quickly. There is also of course, an expressed concern for the victim in this case; and if Senator Brazeau is guilty, it my sincere hope that he is prosecuted to fullest existent of the law.
