印度男子来加探亲 闯入高中骚扰女生 被永久驱逐
印度男子来加探亲，竟闯入高中骚扰陌生女生！被永久驱逐出境！
一名来自印度、持临时签证访加的51岁男子因在安省萨尼亚（Sarnia）一所高中外对两名十几岁的女生进行刑事骚扰而被定罪，他将被驱逐出境，并被禁止再入境加拿大。
法官Krista Lynn Leszczynski周三表示：“你根本不应该出现在那所高中的校园范围内。这种行为绝不被容忍。”
Singh于7月持六个月签证抵达加拿大，在9月8日至11日期间，他经常出现在萨尼亚某高中的吸烟区，期间多次接近年轻女生，并试图与她们交谈和合照。
其中一名女生起初拒绝合照，但后来为了让他尽快离开而勉强同意。然而，他却进一步侵犯她的个人空间。他坐在两名女生之间，示意再拍一张照片。拍完后，他把手臂搭在其中一名女孩身上，令她感到十分不适，于是站起来推开了他的手。
辛格不会说英语，他在9月16日被捕，被控性干扰（sexual interference）和性侵（sexual assault）。几天后他获准保释，但随后因同一天出现新的投诉而再次被捕。隔日他再次获得保释，但因当时没有口译员，他又在拘留所里多待了一晚。
辛格的律师布兰登（Terry Brandon）在庭上对法官表示：“他在监狱里受到的待遇和所经历的一切，对他来说是非常震撼且将长期留下影响的。”
周三，在萨尼亚的法庭上，在口译员与律师的协助下，辛格对性干扰指控表示不认罪，但对较轻的刑事骚扰罪名认罪。控方与律师双方共同建议判处“已服刑时间”，即认罪前的9天羁押期，并外加三年缓刑。
法官表示，这样的量刑在一般情况下并不常见，但考虑到辛格即将被遣返且永久禁止入境加拿大，因此作出此决定。
检察官在法庭上朗读了两名女孩写下的陈述。其中一名受害者表示，这起事件对她造成严重的情绪打击，夺走了她的安全感，让她在年长男性，尤其是与辛格相同族裔的男性面前感到害怕。
“让我最难接受的是，施害者是一个以新移民身份来到加拿大的人，”她写道，“这种背叛彻底改变了我对他那个文化背景的人，以及所有比我年长男性的看法。”
另一名女孩表示，她的心理健康和生活方式受到影响，她讨厌去公共场所，也感到不安全。“我甚至不敢想，他拿那些照片到底想干什么。”
律师布兰登表示：“他理解自己的行为对这些年轻女孩造成了伤害。”
根据为期三年的缓刑令，辛格被禁止与两名女孩联络，禁止出现在她们生活、学习或工作的任何地方；禁止接触16岁以下的任何人（除新生孙儿外）；并不得靠近任何泳池、学校、操场、公园或社区中心100米范围内。

A 51-year-old man from India visiting Canada on a temporary visa has been convicted of criminally harassing two teenaged girls outside a Sarnia high school and will be deported and banned from coming back to the country.
Singh, who arrived in Canada in July on a six-month visa, frequented the smoking area of a Sarnia high school between Sept. 8 and Sept. 11. In that time, he approached young girls and repeatedly tried to communicate with and take pictures with them.
One girl, who initially refused a photo, relented in hopes that he would leave, but instead he placed himself in her personal space. He sat between two girls and gestured to take another photo. After another photo was taken, he put his arm around a girl, who felt uncomfortable, stood up and pushed his hands away.
“The treatment he received and the experience he had in jail himself was a shocking experience and long lasting,” Singh’s lawyer, Terry Brandon, told the judge.
On Wednesday in a Sarnia courtroom, with the help of an interpreter and his lawyer, Singh pleaded not guilty to sexual interference, but guilty to the lesser included offence of criminal harassment. The Crown and Brandon both asked for a time-served sentence of nine days in pre-plea custody plus three years of probation.
The sentence, which Leszczynski said would otherwise be unusual, factored in his pending deportation and ban on returning to Canada.
Brandon said Canada Border Services Agency officers were in the courtroom waiting for Singh after the case concluded. Singh had a ticket to go home on Dec. 30, but he was looking for an earlier flight home after his legal troubles in Canada.
“I understand that pleases the Canada Border Services agents, who will assist and work to that end goal,” she said.
A Canada Border Services Agency spokesperson was asked Thursday for an update on Singh’s deportation.
“Part of what makes this so difficult is that the offender was someone who had come to Canada as a newcomer,” she wrote. “This betrayal has affected the way I see people of his culture and men who are older than me.”
The other girl said her mental health and lifestyle has been affected. She also hates being in public areas and doesn’t feel safe.
“I don’t even want to know what he was thinking or what he was doing with those pictures,” she said.
“He appreciates how his behaviour impacted these young women,” Brandon said.
The three-year probation order bans Singh from talking to either girl or being where they live, work or go to school, from being around or talking to anyone under age 16, except his newborn grandchild, and from being within 100 metres of any pool, school, playground, park or community centre.
