Last week, we learnt a Metro Vancouver minor baseball and hockey coach was charged with child pornography and voyeurism. 59-year-old Randy Downes, the president of Coquitlam-Moody Minor Baseball, is facing nine sex-offence related charges.
Langley’s Andy Bhatti is someone who knows full well the effects of childhood sexual assault - he was sexually assaulted by a Big Brother for over 5 years between the ages of 9-14.
This past weekend, he biked 500km over four days with his friend and actor Graham Wardle from CBC TV show Heartland. They rode from Port Hardy to Victoria to raise awareness for survivors of childhood victims of sexual assault, and also to raise money for Sophie’s Place Child and Youth Advocacy Centre.
