印度男子來加探親 闖入高中騷擾女生 被永久驅逐
印度男子來加探親，竟闖入高中騷擾陌生女生！被永久驅逐出境！
一名來自印度、持臨時簽證訪加的51歲男子因在安省薩尼亞（Sarnia）一所高中外對兩名十幾歲的女生進行刑事騷擾而被定罪，他將被驅逐出境，並被禁止再入境加拿大。
法官Krista Lynn Leszczynski周三表示：“你根本不應該出現在那所高中的校園範圍內。這種行為絕不被容忍。”
Singh於7月持六個月簽證抵達加拿大，在9月8日至11日期間，他經常出現在薩尼亞某高中的吸煙區，期間多次接近年輕女生，並試圖與她們交談和合照。
其中一名女生起初拒絕合照，但後來為了讓他盡快離開而勉強同意。然而，他卻進一步侵犯她的個人空間。他坐在兩名女生之間，示意再拍一張照片。拍完後，他把手臂搭在其中一名女孩身上，令她感到十分不適，於是站起來推開了他的手。
辛格不會說英語，他在9月16日被捕，被控性幹擾（sexual interference）和性侵（sexual assault）。幾天後他獲準保釋，但隨後因同一天出現新的投訴而再次被捕。隔日他再次獲得保釋，但因當時沒有口譯員，他又在拘留所裏多待了一晚。
辛格的律師布蘭登（Terry Brandon）在庭上對法官表示：“他在監獄裏受到的待遇和所經曆的一切，對他來說是非常震撼且將長期留下影響的。”
周三，在薩尼亞的法庭上，在口譯員與律師的協助下，辛格對性幹擾指控表示不認罪，但對較輕的刑事騷擾罪名認罪。控方與律師雙方共同建議判處“已服刑時間”，即認罪前的9天羈押期，並外加三年緩刑。
法官表示，這樣的量刑在一般情況下並不常見，但考慮到辛格即將被遣返且永久禁止入境加拿大，因此作出此決定。
檢察官在法庭上朗讀了兩名女孩寫下的陳述。其中一名受害者表示，這起事件對她造成嚴重的情緒打擊，奪走了她的安全感，讓她在年長男性，尤其是與辛格相同族裔的男性麵前感到害怕。
“讓我最難接受的是，施害者是一個以新移民身份來到加拿大的人，”她寫道，“這種背叛徹底改變了我對他那個文化背景的人，以及所有比我年長男性的看法。”
另一名女孩表示，她的心理健康和生活方式受到影響，她討厭去公共場所，也感到不安全。“我甚至不敢想，他拿那些照片到底想幹什麽。”
律師布蘭登表示：“他理解自己的行為對這些年輕女孩造成了傷害。”
根據為期三年的緩刑令，辛格被禁止與兩名女孩聯絡，禁止出現在她們生活、學習或工作的任何地方；禁止接觸16歲以下的任何人（除新生孫兒外）；並不得靠近任何泳池、學校、操場、公園或社區中心100米範圍內。

A 51-year-old man from India visiting Canada on a temporary visa has been convicted of criminally harassing two teenaged girls outside a Sarnia high school and will be deported and banned from coming back to the country.
Singh, who arrived in Canada in July on a six-month visa, frequented the smoking area of a Sarnia high school between Sept. 8 and Sept. 11. In that time, he approached young girls and repeatedly tried to communicate with and take pictures with them.
One girl, who initially refused a photo, relented in hopes that he would leave, but instead he placed himself in her personal space. He sat between two girls and gestured to take another photo. After another photo was taken, he put his arm around a girl, who felt uncomfortable, stood up and pushed his hands away.
“The treatment he received and the experience he had in jail himself was a shocking experience and long lasting,” Singh’s lawyer, Terry Brandon, told the judge.
On Wednesday in a Sarnia courtroom, with the help of an interpreter and his lawyer, Singh pleaded not guilty to sexual interference, but guilty to the lesser included offence of criminal harassment. The Crown and Brandon both asked for a time-served sentence of nine days in pre-plea custody plus three years of probation.
The sentence, which Leszczynski said would otherwise be unusual, factored in his pending deportation and ban on returning to Canada.
Brandon said Canada Border Services Agency officers were in the courtroom waiting for Singh after the case concluded. Singh had a ticket to go home on Dec. 30, but he was looking for an earlier flight home after his legal troubles in Canada.
“I understand that pleases the Canada Border Services agents, who will assist and work to that end goal,” she said.
A Canada Border Services Agency spokesperson was asked Thursday for an update on Singh’s deportation.
“Part of what makes this so difficult is that the offender was someone who had come to Canada as a newcomer,” she wrote. “This betrayal has affected the way I see people of his culture and men who are older than me.”
The other girl said her mental health and lifestyle has been affected. She also hates being in public areas and doesn’t feel safe.
“I don’t even want to know what he was thinking or what he was doing with those pictures,” she said.
“He appreciates how his behaviour impacted these young women,” Brandon said.
The three-year probation order bans Singh from talking to either girl or being where they live, work or go to school, from being around or talking to anyone under age 16, except his newborn grandchild, and from being within 100 metres of any pool, school, playground, park or community centre.
