Daryl Lee Evans, a 25 year veteran of the Winnipeg Police Department, pleaded guilty to violation of a probation order and failure to comply with probaiton for contacting his ex-wife after she wanted him to leave her alone. He repeatedly e-mailed and called the woman, and even went over to her house. The probation he served stemmed from incidents 19 months ago with the same woman.
The guilty pleas come 19 months after Evans received a one-year suspended sentence on similar charges. Defence lawyer Richard Wolson said Evans finally realizes his marriage is over.
"A marked change has occurred and he has moved on with his life," Wolson said.
Wolson and special prosecutor Don Knight jointly recommended an 18-month suspended sentence as part of a plea bargain that would spare the victim from testifying in court. Knight said the offences were "on the low end of the scale" and did not involve threats or violence.
Judge Linda Giesbrecht accepted the joint recommendation but not the characterization of the harassment as minor.
Whether someone is saying 'I love you and I don't want to break up' ... that can be extremely distressing to someone who doesn't want contact."
(Update 7-30-08) Evans apparantly is at it again. The Winnipeg Free Press reports that a 25 year veteran of the Winnipeg Police Department broke into and violently sexually assaulted an ex-wife last weekend. He was arrested Sunday and charged with sexual assault, burglary, and assault for raping and choking the woman. The woman, who's still in the hospital, had her eyes covered with tape and her limbs bound. She managed to call 911 and her husband appeared in court Monday.
According to the Winnipeg Free Press, the husband and wife's names are banned from Canadian publication due to her status as a sexual assault victim. However, the Free Press says that
The former sergeant was on an unsupervised 18-month probation order after being convicted in May of failing to comply with a court-imposed no-contact order and violating the protection order against him held by his former wife. He was also given a suspended sentence and a $100 fine.
Only Daryl Evans meets that criteria, so Victimized Over The AOC assumes it's him until further notice.

yes you are correct. It was daryl evans . I am the victims sister and came across your website by chance. The details of the attack are even more horrific than were published in the paper.
Although the Winnipeg police department have and continue to try to protect her from this violent man, the courts have over the past few years failed to protect her. Daryl has not been held accountable for his actions and her complaints have been dismissed by the courts.
It is tragic that our justice system will allow things to escalate to the point that my sister was nearly killed by this violent man before something is done. I sincerely hope that the justice system will not fail her this time and that he will finally be held accountable for his abhorrent actions.
Thank you for highlighting this important issue on your blog site.
Fuck you duval
