Markus Hicks, 32, a teacher and volleyball coach, has pleaded not guilty to more than 100 charges of sexual violence involving about two dozen alleged victims, including minors. Trial before provincial court judge set for early 2025.
Crown read a list of people Alahmad can’t contact. He remains in custody while in hospital & is due back in court Monday. Judge Harold Porter is on the bench, the same judge who released Alahmad the first two times he was charged with assaulting the murder victim in Dec & Jan.
It is unacceptable for people to support the campaigns of conservative politicians who are willing to target queer & trans folx in their bid for power. I don't care if you align with them on economic policy - it is reprehensible to accept queer & trans youth as collateral damage.
