B.C. man pleads guilty to assault in strip club encounter

A Vancouver man has pleaded guilty to assault in connection with a sexual encounter on the back stairs of a popular Vancouver strip club.

Vancouver Provincial Court Judge Andrea Brownstone heard Tuesday the 46-year-old man and a woman had been having sex in a staircase behind the No5 Orange strip club in the city’s Downtown Eastside on Aug. 17. Glacier Media has chosen not to name the man as he continues to get help for mental health issues such as schizophrenia.Crown prosecutor Kevin Masse told the judge a witness heard the woman shouting “no, no, no.”The man was initially charged with sexual assault.

Defence lawyer Samantha Purton told the judge the incident was completely out of character for her client, who has significant mental health issues. She said the British Columbia Institute of Technology engineering graduate has a treatment-resistant schizophrenia but continues to get mental health assistance and is supported by his family.Brownstone sentenced the man to a conditional discharge, 12-months’ probation and 20 hours of community work service.
