NANAIMO — A federal jail sentence of three years was handed to a man for a violent sexual attack against a teen who was nearing high school graduation.
B.C. Supreme Court Justice Jan Brongers issued his judgment on Thursday, Jan. 30 in Nanaimo against Curtis Aaron Nielsen, 34, for a “highly intrusive” June 21, 2021 incident outside a local apartment complex.
Justice Brongers recounted the disturbing facts after he found Nielsen guilty on a singular sexual assault charge last July following a judge-alone trial.
