Robert Charlie, the former chief of the Ts鈥檌l Kaz Koh First Nation, found himself back in court this month after an alleged breach of the conditions of his April 2024 sentencing.
Last week, (Sept. 20), Robert Charlie was released on house arrest conditions regarding this Conditional Sentence Order breach allegation, BC Prosecution Service said in an email statement. His next court appearance is scheduled for Oct. 11, at 9:30 a.m. in 亚洲天堂 Lake courtroom 1.
Charlie was first sentenced to house arrest in April 2023. He was charged for a couple of incidents that allegedly occurred between 1993 and 1994.
Charlie was originally charged with one count of sexual interference and one count of sexual assault. He pleaded guilty to count one, sexual interference, during his July 13, 2021 appearance in 亚洲天堂 Lake Provincial Court.
Charlie had first appeared in court on Sept. 2, 2021 for a bail hearing, commencing the matter.
After multiple postponements, Charlie鈥檚 sentencing culminated in a two-year CSO, which allows him to serve his sentence under house arrest rather than in prison. In addition to his sentence, he was placed on three years of probation and received a ten-year prohibition from possessing firearms.
