Matthew McKnight is currently serving eight years in prison. Alberta Justice and Solicitor-General lawyer Matthew Griener is arguing the sentence should be almost doubled, to 15
Mr. McKnight stood trial in the fall of 2019 on 13 charges of sexual assault, related to allegations dating between 2010 and 2016.
In sentencing argument after the convictions, Crown prosecutor Mark Huyser-Wierenga asked for 22 1/2 years in prison. Defence lawyer Dino Bottos argued that Mr. McKnight should receive from five to nine years. That appeal was dismissed by the Court of Appeal of Alberta in 2022, and then by the Supreme Court of Canada in January. Having the conviction appeal settled now allows the Crown’s appeal, which was filed in 2020, to go ahead.
