An Edmonton man was sentenced Tuesday to a further 22 months in provincial jail followed by three years probation for luring and sexually targeting a seven-year girl while in Prince George.
In summarizing the circumstances, Mengering found that Critch saw a trip to Prince George to visit friends and family as an opportunity to act on thoughts he had been harbouring for years. From there, he told her he'd show her a magic trick and then peed. Critch then told her to keep the encounter secret but the girl raced home and told her mother who called police. With the help of images from the neighbours' video surveillance cameras, police identified his car and a few days later he was found still in Prince George and arrested.
At one point, Mengering likened Critch to the kind of person girls are taught from a young age to avoid.
