Canadian Justice...

This is what is wrong with Canadian Justice, this guy from Iran kisses a woman's breast against her will in an elevator which he admits to doing but states that it was nothing serious. The crown recommends a three month sentence but the judge feels sorry for him and gives him only 2 months and counts the 42 days he has already served. He only has to spend another 18 days in jail. The defense was arguing that he should be acquitted because a conviction might hurt his academic career. Tough shit I say. I know this guy comes from a country where a woman who is raped is the one punished and put to death but I say to hell with multiculturalism in this case. Deport this sex offender!!! I can only see this guy later down the road when he is a professor at MUN and in a position of power, what will he do to the women then???? It is cases like this that really make me believe that in Canada the rights of the criminal supersede everyone elses. She should have just kicked him in the groin.


A St. John's university student has been sentenced to two months in jail after sexually assaulting a student in a campus elevator.

Farhood Azarsina, 25, had earlier pleaded guilty to a charge of sexual assault. He will spend another 18 days in jail, on top of time already served, a provincial court judge ruled Wednesday.

Farhood Azarsina, seen during a court appearance earlier this month, was sentenced Wednesday.

Azarsina pushed a woman's arms aside and then kissed one of her breasts in an incident at Memorial University's main campus last September.

At the time, Azarsina admitted to the incident, but said it was "nothing serious."

The Crown had asked for a three-month sentence, but judge David Orr decided on two months. Azarsina was credited with 42 days for the amount of time he had already spent in custody.

Brian Wentzell, the lawyer acting for Azarsina, a graduate engineering student from Iran, had argued for a discharge, on grounds that a conviction could hurt his client's academic career.

The victim in the case told the court earlier this month that she has trouble sleeping, and that the experience was devastating.
