Nunavut Man Sentenced to Two Years for Graveyard Indecency

 

In bizarre news, a Nunavut man has been sentenced to two years in prison for indecently interfering with human remains.

The forty-one year old admitted to having sexual intercourse with the body shortly after it was buried.

The man said that he was at the cemetery visiting his mother’s grave when he saw the open coffin.

Crown prosecutors and lawyers had a hard time finding legal precedents to work with for the case.

They could not find any cases similar to this one in Canadian and British case law.

The man, who already has a previous conviction for sexual assault, will also serve three years probation.
