A 54-year-old B.C. man who was raped as a teen while on a court-mandated tour of a notorious Burnaby prison has been awarded at least $175,000 in damages.
The ruling came down in the B.C. Supreme Court on Tuesday, in a suit that named the Province of B.C. and a former prison guard.
The victim, identified only as B.E.S. because he was minor at the time, was being taken on a “scared straight” tour of the now-shuttered Oakalla prison — part of a parole sentence for a break and enter he participated at age 13 or 14.
