IH medical officer arrested

[alanjh595]

Makes my stomach churn reading about child sex abusers.

There is “overwhelming evidence” Interior Health's former top doctor sexually assaulted a child multiple times in Alberta, according to the Crown.

Dr. Albert de Villiers' three-day trial in Grande Prairie wrapped up Thursday with closing submissions from Crown prosecutor Amber Pickrell and defence Council Chris Millsap.

De Villiers is charged with sexually assaulting a child and invitation to sexual touching in relation to alleged incidents in Grande Prairie between 2018 and 2020. De Villiers was Interior Health's chief medical health officer, based out of Kelowna, from the summer of 2020 to June 2021, when the charges were laid.

Prior to his move to Kelowna, de Villiers worked as a medical health officer for Alberta Health Services for 16 years.

According to the article posted above;
He worked as a: "worked as a medical health officer for Alberta Health Services for 16 years".

A "public health OFFICER" is an administrational position, therefore, he did not have any contact with patients of any age, and was just a paper pusher.

^they shouldn't refer to him as "Dr." He doesn't deserve that level of respect

Hopefully the Alberta judge hits him with biggest penalty possible.

He’s not back at work. He’s on paid leave. With the *bleep* up set of laws in this province, he’s innocent until proven guilty. This means his wages remain as if there were no charges against him. When the courts have decided if he’s guilty or not is when his employment status changes.

Having lived in several Third World countries I can assure you that innocent until proven guilty is certainly a preferable option to guilty until proven innocent.

Not when it comes to child sex cases.

unreal eh ? a grown professional man in a powerful position likes to make tents with kids in basements, just disgusting.

guess it wasn't the victim trying to make some $$ with a payout and I guess when the Crown proceeds with a case, there's usually something there more times than not

good, with the other charges going to Court soon he can do jail time
And he tried to use his hard work during Covid as an excuse for being confused
SNIP
"I accept that the accused was either attempting to mislead the police ... or he had not yet settled on a story that would explain the voicemail."

Additionally, she said there was nothing in the RCMP officer's question about whether or not de Villiers licked the child's penis that "could have caused confusion."

sadly he will be put with the other sexoffenders , he will be just fine

Thankfully he was charged, tried, and convicted in Alberta. Had it been in BC he probably would've walked. In fact our lazy crown prosecutors in this province probably wouldn't have even laid charges so they could avoid going to court.

I'm guessing Susan Brown. The lady in charge of running IH that we never hear from. She'll no doubt have one of her high paid minions speak on IH's behalf.
