WINNIPEG – A former Scouts Canada leader and radio DJ in Winnipeg has been sentenced to seven years for sex crimes against children.
Christopher Elwick had pleaded guilty to eight charges including sexual assault and making child pornography.
Elwick’s crimes were against children he came into contact with between 1999 and 2009.
Police seized hundreds of images of child porn from Elwick’s computer.
What a disgusting loser.
you know Ryder, I not only feel sorry for the victims, but for the man. Why? No doubt he, like so many others like him were also victims subject to the same kind of sexual abuse when they were children. Not sure how to explain this, but I think its like a spiritual thing, or a curse which is brought down upon the children of the fathers who opened the doors, Interesting the scriptures also reveal so much of what now seems to be coming down on us….. Just sayin…
Tell that to the victims. A lot of us went through this, and did not repeat the behaviour. No excuse.
If you actually read details of this story this guy even took advantage of an autistic child. Obviously a terribly sick individual who requires years and years of intensive therapy . Seven years is simply not enough time behind bars. BUT like so many who find themselves incarcerated he apparently has found god and prays daily for all the innocent young children he has taken advantage of. How convenient.
Elwick joins an elite group of well known broadcasters who later turned into convicted sexual pedophiles.
Included in this hall of shame are Darren Robertson (Doc Roberts), Global TV’s Ron Bencze and last, but not least, Rolf Harris.
I suppose that these men will likely never work in the industry again, but you never know !
