Kamloops Man Acquitted Of Sexual Assault
A Kamloops man, Norman Eli Larue, was acquitted of sexual assault by the B C Court of Appeal after being found guilty only of aggravated assault at a 2001 trial. The Crown's appeal produced a split ruling with one judge urging conviction on the sexual assault charge. The alleged crime occurred during an assault in which the woman said she awoke to find her clothing displaced and Larue atop her.
