A Nova Scotia man who admitted he tampered with his girlfriend's condoms resulting in her pregnancy lost his Supreme Court appeal and must now serve the balance of his 18-month sentence on a charge of sexual assault.

Canada's top court unanimously upheld Craig Jaret Hutchinson's sexual assault conviction on Friday morning.

In my limited view, it would never happen in the USA, but it is a limited view.

You are right. From the full article:

The judge at Hutchinson's first trial called his actions "dastardly" but acquitted him. The Crown appealed that decision, and Hutchinson was convicted in December 2011 at his second trial.

Prosecution cannot appeal an acquittal in the U.S.

he obviously, wanted a child...GF was probably
an (feminist) witch, he was an Boy toy.

Why on earth would anybody do this?

I mean, if you’re gonna knock someone up, you may as well enjoy the experience.

[PapaBear3625]

If it had been the woman who did it, would she have faced serving 18 months for sexual assault? We all know the answer.

[JudyinCanada]

Nope - she’d be collecting child support.

If she was dumb enough to admit it and record it like this guy, I believe she would.

It happens all the time with women and rich men. They usually don’t admit it on the record though.

Do you mean, "Why did he wear a condom if it was his intention to impregnate the woman anyway?"

The answer is: He wore the condom because the woman insisted that he use birth control. That's why he pierced the latex: Because he wanted to impregnate her anyway (against her wishes). That's why the woman had him prosecuted: Because he deceived her.

Everything clear now?

Usually it’s women who”forget” to take their birth control or tamper with contraceptives to keep a guy.

he obviously, wanted a child

Well, yes, but wouldn't you want that child to have a caring mother?

[Squawk 8888]

To all- please ping me to Canadian topics.

Canada Ping!

Especially is he's young, successful, and pro-life....

Real Men of Genius....Here’s to you, Mr. Condom Piercer.

A pro-life man isn't going to be having relations with a woman he wouldn't want to mother his children. I believe with all my heart the best way to keep a young man from sleeping around is to instill in him the value of life within the womb.

[Phlap]

Old and tired maybe but still smart.

[Organic Panic]

I had a girlfriend who did this to me. Needless to say it ended VERY soon after the deception was discovered.

[golux]

I did.

Exactly.
