Kelowna-Area Conservative Condemns OneBC Post About 2006 Stayed Charges
Singh says the allegations were never proven and that OneBC is using old court records to cast doubt on his candidacy.
- On October 16, OneBC published 2006 court documents regarding BC Conservative candidate Pavneet Singh, alleging sexual assault, touching a person under 14, and forcible confinement in Vernon.
- The charges were stayed in 2008 after a 12-month window under the Criminal Code; the BC Prosecution Service provides no public reasons for such stays by general policy.
- Singh stated on Facebook he was 'falsely accused' while celebrating Canada Day in a public park, maintaining he has 'no criminal record' and has undergone multiple criminal record checks while running for office.
- Describing the release as 'sleazy attacks,' the BC Conservative Party candidate for Kelowna-Lake Country-Coldstream denounced the move, while OneBC alleged questions remain unanswered about the case.
- With the provincial election set for October 24, Singh faces opponents including OneBC's Alexandra Wright, BC NDP candidate Binny Boparai, and BC Green Party candidate Carter Mochinski in Kelowna-Lake Country-Coldstream.
