Lloyd Aubrey Spencer, 40, has been sentenced 90 days for sexually touching a minor in 2015.
Spencer appeared in Truro Provincial Court on April 4. The case wasn’t reported until March 2016 because the victim felt guilty about what happened. The victim was 12 years old at the time and Spencer was 38.
“There was absolutely not one grain of fault on your part here,” said Judge Warren Zimmer to the victim “Not so much as one grain of sand on the beaches of the world.”
In July 2015 the victim was watching a movie with Spencer when he began the sexual touching, while others were in the room.
The victim said she felt unsafe, and asked him to stop. Then she went to bed with Spencer’s wife.
The next morning Spencer apologized and told the victim not to tell anyone.
The victim knew Spencer since she was a young girl and visited his home previously because she had an ‘older-sister-like relationship’ with his wife.
The victim and her mother read impact statements.
“Everyone leaves me now. I feel so alone and afraid,” said the victim.
Since the incident, the victim has experienced depression, anger, anxiety, and was once hospitalized at the IWK.
“I don’t have control over that person I’ve become.”
Her mother has been receiving help from the Colchester Sexual Assault Centre.
“I’ve found myself looking for the guidance to help me fight through this whole ordeal to help my daughter.”
She’s since noticed a change in her daughter’s spirit and behavior.
“The daughter I have now needs to fight to feel normal,”
Spencer was emotionless through it all.
Spencer has a previous criminal record, and was sexually abused himself as a child. He is now unemployed because of the incident
Spencer, living on Matheson Road in Salmon River, will be serving his sentence intermittently. He will be on probation for three years and the National Sex Offender Registry for 10.
