SETTLEMENT REACHED IN MARTENSVILLE LAWSUIT

Released on April 18, 2005

A settlement has been reached in a lawsuit filed against the Government of Saskatchewan by Darren Sabourin.

Under the terms of the agreement, the Government of Saskatchewan will pay the plaintiff approximately $67,000 as part of a $150,000 settlement.

"This suit arose out of an investigation and prosecution of allegations of sexual abuse of children," Justice Minister Frank Quennell said. "Sexual abuse is one of the most sensitive and difficult issues dealt with by our criminal justice system. The difficulties are further complicated when the victims are children."

"In recent years it has been recognized child victims and witnesses cannot be treated in the same way as adult victims and witnesses," Quennell said. "The justice system's knowledge and ability to deal effectively with child witnesses continues to develop."

Over the past decade, four prosecutions have given rise to malicious prosecution lawsuits. Saskatchewan prosecutors annually deal with more than 82,000 charges brought to them by the police.

In addition to the settlement announced today, settlements have been reached with Ron and Linda Sterling and John Popowich. Two lawsuits related to the Martensville prosecution remain outstanding.
