BC COURT LENIENT ON MAN WHO SEXUALLY EXPLOITED
TEENAGE GIRL
On March 14, 2003 Kenneth Wayne Dunning, a businessman in
his sixties, was sentenced to two months of house arrest and
two months of probation by the Kamloops Supreme Court of BC
after he sexually exploited a teenage girl.
Dunning was found guilty of procuring sexual services from a
child under Section 212.4 of the Canadian Criminal Code. He
is serving his house arrest in the same home in which he
exploited the teenage girl.
The government of Canada pays lip service to girls who are
being abused when it claims to be serious about ending
sexual exploitation. Firstly provincial governments cut
already unliveable welfare rates and remove other essential
programs. Secondly courts continue to put girls at risk by
giving violent men shorter and less restrictive sentences
than girls are given for petty theft.
