VANCOUVER — A British Columbia Supreme Courtroom choose has sentenced a girl with an in depth legal historical past of impersonating nurses in a number of provinces to 4 years in jail, tacking on extra time to a sentence she is already serving in Ontario.
Affiliate Chief Justice Heather Holmes says the prospects of rehabilitation for Brigitte Cleroux “appear slim,” after she detailed the lady’s in depth legal historical past throughout Canada.
Holmes says Cleroux has by no means been professionally certified as a nurse, and her legal document contains quite a few convictions for fraud and forgery through the years in a number of provinces.
Holmes handed down her causes for sentencing in a Vancouver courtroom right now, ruling on three indictments for crimes Cleroux dedicated in Vancouver, Victoria and Surrey, B.C.
The choose says Cleroux’s impersonation of an actual nurse, whose identify is below a publication ban, prompted sufferers who she handled to lose belief within the province’s medical system virtually “with out exception.”
Holmes says Cleroux’s “deep seated dishonesty” prompted lots of of sufferers emotional misery after they realized she wasn’t certified, and sentenced her to a different 4 years in jail to be served after she completes her sentence in Ontario for related offences.
