Thanks Judy.

You should be charged. If you had got away with it you would have done it again. Just cause your university student makes you no different than anyone else.

I'm curious as to how this case was settled. And Someguy1980 has made some very good positive feedback.

Having been in the Loss Prevention field for 12 years, I have dealt with first time offenders to gang related, Organize Crime, and even with mental health issues, not to mention drug related and even gambling problems. Name it from 7 years old to 80 yrs old, seen it happen.

I sure hope that your case went the way you wanted it to be. The advise given to you by the YRP officer to plead guilty was a smart one, as an LPO will be ask to produce all the evidence in the court. I hope you did call the duty counsel and ask for a really good advise.

I have dealt with a similar matter, not so close though as the company I work for, we don't go after the accused in a civil way, but I have known many colleagues working for other companies that they will go for a civil law suit. Some may ask for a simple restitution, really depends on the company. Going back to my topic, the accused pleaded guilty, while I was present at the court room, along with the other LPO and the PC (Police Constable) that responded to the call, the judge asked the crown attorney if we're happy with the decision of paying a fine or donating money to a charity, and do some community service. Mind you that PC and myself spoke to the crown before, and we've already discussed what are possible outcome of the case and if we're going to be okay with the decision.

Having said that, I'm sure there are other people here that would like to hear about the outcome. Not in a very rude way pal, but I sure hope that you did learn a good lesson, people make mistakes, we move on, and sometimes we do need a good smack here and there in order for us to realize the path were taking. I suggest that if you're still planning to fulfill your dream career, Pardon Services Canada might able to help out. Lets face it, we are always faced with temptation everyday, you just gave in to your urge. I sure hope that you have kept your record clean and will continue to do so. If that's the case, those things are very well considered in Pardon Services. I also suggest giving back to the community while you're at it, show the remorsefull side of you and at the same time, you're showing that you learned a valuable lesson and its something that you don't want to do again.

I wish you all the best in life pal. Just stay away from the temptations next time, sometimes they lead us to a very dark place.

Cheers
