EXCERPT:
An Ethiopian immigrant in Canada pleaded guilty to several “offences that included assaulting a teenager and smearing fecal matter over her face and mouth,” as well as “sexual assault, assault, and committing an indecent act,” according to the National Post. Because he has been unemployed for years, the judge deemed it an ‘undue hardship’ if he paid the fines imposed by law.
If you are surprised by this soft sentence, you are not paying attention. Clearly, the justice system for our northern neighbors is not what you would call “just.”
The crimes are worse than you could have ever imagined.
Per the National Post:
The judge waived the victim fine surcharge, noting that Zewdu has been unemployed for years and the fine “would be an undue hardship.” The surcharge is generally 15 per cent where a fine has been levied, or between $100 and $200 for each offence.
Court documents released this week outline the troubling nature of the offences. In one, which took place on June 27, 2025, a 17-year-old was walking in a residential area near a SkyTrain station when Zewdu approached her from behind and grabbed her.
“He then smeared fecal matter over her face and mouth while pushing and jamming feces into her face and mouth,” court records state. “Mr. Zewdu was laughing as he held out his phone, causing the victim to believe that Mr. Zewdu was recording the assault. A subsequent search of his phone showed that this was not the case.”
