The man, who can only be identified as AA, has been diagnosed as a pedophile in remission and told the tribunal he hasn’t molested any children since the three incidents in 2009. The tribunal found he’s now of “good character” and has been cleared to practise as long as he’s not unsupervised with minor children.MANDEL: Monster Paul Bernardo's transfer should never have happened
“The law society argued against this finding and is now appealing the tribunal’s decision,” the LSO said in a statement. “The tribunal had previously ordered that the identity of AA not be disclosed: AA v. Law Society. The law society also opposed the making of that order and is challenging its further application as part of its appeal.”There was an error, please provide a valid email address.By clicking on the sign up button you consent to receive the above newsletter from Postmedia Network Inc.
