A man caught committing an 'indecent act' beside a transit bus in Burnaby last May apologized in court to the 15-year-old girl who reported him and commended her courage.
A Port Moody man caught masturbating in his vehicle beside a transit bus in Burnaby last May has apologized to the 15-year-old girl who reported him and commended her courage.
A 15-year-old girl on the bus looked over and saw he was wearing no pants and masturbating while staring at her. “She was shocked and afraid and told her parents about the incident when she returned home,” Crown prosecutor Louise Gauld said. Vandergust said Pelletier, who has no criminal record, had expressed his intention to plead guilty “very early” in the case. Since the incident, Vandergust said Pelletier has sought counselling, and his psychologist has indicated he has “excellent insights” in his offending behaviour.
“I’d like to apologize to the victim and all those close to her for the harm I’ve caused them,” he said. “I’m really sorry. And, furthermore, I thank the victim for her brave act in reporting this. It forced me out of the dark place where my heart was sinking, and it made me to seek the help that I need.”
