Sexual Assault Trial Verdict Not Expected Before Early January

An 81 year old man who is accused of sexually assaulting four nursing home residents in Charlotte County is now awaiting a verdict on his trial.

Eric Watson told the court he never did anything inappropriate in the close to six years he had volunteered at the Fundy Nursing Home in Black’s Harbour.

The complaints are from 2010 to 2016. All of the four alleged victims have died and the court has placed a ban on their identities.

Watson told the court he volunteered at the home while his father was a resident there.

Judge Henrik Tonning will come back with his verdict in early January.
