The conditional sentence order (CSO) breach hearing for Robert Charlie, the former chief of the Ts鈥檌l Kaz Koh First Nation, commenced on October 23 and was adjourned to October 24 to determine a continuation date. The hearing will continue on November 12 at the Smithers Law Courts at 2 p.m.
Charlie, who was sentenced to house arrest in April 2023 for incidents that occurred between 1993 and 1994, is currently facing scrutiny following his recent release on house arrest conditions due to the alleged breach.
The BC Prosecution Service confirmed his release last month on September 20, amid these ongoing legal issues.
Initially charged with sexual interference and sexual assault, Charlie pleaded guilty to sexual interference during a court appearance in July 2021.
His sentence included a two-year CSO, three years of probation, and a ten-year prohibition from possessing firearms.
