Swift Current candidate accused of victim-blaming child sex abuse victim
A Swift Current business owner hoping to be elected to city council is accused of putting part of the blame on the victim of sexual abuse.
Ricardo Morin allegedly emailed a local community organization in Swift Current criticizing its financial support for the city’s Safe Place Youth Certified Initiative.
It was championed by former NHL player Sheldon Kennedy, who was sexually abused as a young athlete while living in Swift Current.
“Furthermore Sheldon Kenedy (sic) was not a kid when the so called changed his life episode event happened,” Morin’s email stated.
