WHAT YOU ARE ABOUT TO READ MIGHT SOUND UNBELIEVABLE, HOWEVER EVERYTHING IN THIS POST IS 100% TRUE. Please read this in full before making any posts or any judgments

I truly questioned whether not I should even post on this site as I've been trying to contact lawyers ever since remembering this a month ago. I'm at my wits end, trying to figure out what I should do. I hoping someone on this site can give me some insight as to what I can do, what can be done.

I'm just going to copy and past the letter I have been sending to attorneys in the area where this happened.

Personal/confidential

I came across your services while searching the internet for a lawyer in regards a sexual assault that occurred in Edmonton when I was a boy. I had suppressed the memory of it for years, only remembering it a month ago, and since, I've been seeking an attorney. Alberta law does permit for suppressed memories when filing (civilly as well as criminally)1 one year from the time they are remembered to allow for legal action. However, a catch 22 exists in my situation as the law allows for suppressed memories, but has a 10 year limit.
Please read my letter. If you are able to do anything to help me, please help me.
.All of my contact information is listed at the bottom of the page.


I write you this letter today in the hopes you can help me with a sexual assault that occurred some time ago. Sexual assaults occur every day in this world, but this one was truly different, different & very disturbing. The sexual assault of any 13 year old boy is wrong enough on it's own, but when you add in the reason it happened and how it was perpetrated by an RCMP officer, it becomes quite unsettling. I am certain when you read this you will be just as disturbed as I about this entire event.

At the age of 13, I was living in the small town Fort Saskatchewan, Alberta, located 21 Kilometers north east of Edmonton. The house, in which I was raised, was extremely mentally & physically abusive with alcoholic parents. The parental guidance was completely absent.

One night in the winter, I broke into a school and stole some petty change. The next morning I was arrested and charged under the young offender act for breaking into the school. The RCMP officer who arrested me lived right across the street from our home, and decided he would not release me to my parents because, according to him, "I needed to be taught a lesson". I was put into the jail cells at the Fort Saskatchewan RCMP police station to await transfer to the Yellowhead Youth Pre-Trial holding Center.
While in the cell, the officer came to talk to me and the discussion became heated. Basically I was a punk kid shooting my mouth off. Regardless of what I may have said to him at that time, I did not deserve, nor would any13 year old boy deserve, what happened to me next.

Around 6pm a different RCMP officer placed me in handcuffs, put me in the back of a RCMP cruiser and we began the drive into the city of Edmonton and even though the Yellowhead Youth Pre-Trial holding Center was closer in kilometres and would have taken less time to get to, I was taken to The Edmonton Adult Remand Center located in downtown Edmonton. Yes, you are not reading wrong, a 13 year old put in
to an Adult pre-Trial holding facility. When I asked The RCMP officer who had drove me why I was there he replied saying that I was put into adult for the threatening an officer. Yet I hadn't threatened anyone, and even if I had, I would have still been charged under the young offender act and place in a youth facility, not placed in adult correctional facility. FYI, no charge of threatening an officer was ever laid against me.

I was a small kid with blonde hair and blue eyes, there was no reason I should have ever been put in an Adult Remand Center with grown men. I was admitted and put upstairs on a unit. I stayed in my room scared to death, while inmates, who we're out on the unit, began to come up to my window to look inside, then came inside my cell. Within an hour of my arrival, I was pinned down and forcibly sodomized. A sock stuffed I my mouth to keep me quite while this went on.

That night I tried to kill myself, I try'd to find a place to tie my bed sheet and as soon as I did I was seen by a guard. Even me bleeding was not enough for them to ask a question about it. My cloths were taken from me and I was taken to a different ward. In the morning I was curled up in the corner of my room. The blood that had dripped down, had now dried leaving extension lines down my legs, I was expecting to be assaulted again. A female guard, I assume just began her shift, came into my room saw the blood, then asked how old I was. Calming me down saying a mistake had been made and I did not belong there, she said she'd get me out of there as soon as possible to take me to hospital. She left the room and I could hear her yelling at the other 2 guards about why a kid was on her unit or even in the building at all. She seemed genuinely concerned for my safety and made the other inmates on the unit return to their cells until she could get me out of there. 20 minutes later, 2 different guards came to my cell, tossed me a towel, my clothing, then told me clean up and get dressed. I asked about going to the hospital and told no request has been made to them, so they could not take me there. I was taken to the Yellowhead Youth Center Pre -Trial holding minutes later in a sheriffs prisoner transport van. Although the female guard was not present when I was taken from my cell, I have no doubt that if she had not spoken up about a child on her unit, I would have been raped a second time I also would have not been taken out so quickly.

By 11am I was at the Yellowhead Youth Pre-Trial Center being admitted. I told the staff there where I had come from, but was not believed, repeatedly told there was no way 13-year-old kid was in an adult prison system. I was not believed about that, I was not believed about the assault. They refused to take me to the hospital.

A few days after my admittance to the Yellowhead Youth holding Center I was approached by the child psychologist who worked there. I told this woman about what had happened to me at the remand Center. I told this woman about everything I'd gone through. A day before court, telling me she did not believe my remand center story, that there was no way they would ever put a kid in there. The Child psychologist at court used everything I told her, everything I told her in confidence, all of it against me. I was never so shamed in all my life.

It was on that day that I decided it had to be all my fault, that I some how must have I deserved it. I would never again open myself up to anyone again for years because of this. Being not believed destroyed my confidence in the system completely.

I knew been molested at the age of 10 by my mothers friends son who was 17, and already felt as if the system failed me telling my father and an RCMP officer of the abuse, and nothing was done. Even when I went from a straight a student to A straight F student and pulled half the hair out of my head no one noticed.

It is truly no wonder as to why I did not remember this Remand until just one month ago. I was seeing a psychologist who urged me to write my accounts of all the abuse on paper as a treatment/cure rid myself of it's negative effects on my life now, and that is when I remembered it.

I had a brutal childhood that turned me into an alcoholic/addict for years. Suppressed memories, according to my therapist, are made because of the event being to stressful deal with at that age and the mind blocks it out until better able to cope. The mind will disassociate itself from the body as it is incapable of dealing with the pain at the time.

As Messed up as this sounds, this REALLY happened to me, I was telling the truth. The assault was brutal, but what truly makes me completely furious is this should NEVER should have happened to me in the first place. I am positive this was not only done, maliciously and without any regard for the safety of a minor, but also illegally. There is no way it was legal to put, a 13 year old boy, who'd been arrested and charged under the Young Offender Act, into an adult prison system, not for one night, not for one minute.

There is certain to be transfer records from the Fort Sask RCMP with the officer's name that arrested me, and the officers name that drove me to Edmonton and showing where I was taken. There would also be records showing that I was not admitted into the Yellowhead Youth Center the night of my arrest. There will also be records from Edmonton Remand Center, intake record as well as records regarding my suicide attempt. The Yellowhead Youth Pre-trial would have records of the day I was brought there and where I came from. The Child psychologist would have records as well.

I have a feeling that once the people at the Remand Center realized that a minor had been raped in an Adult Remand, a whole lot of covering up went on and this whole thing was swept under the rug to avoid accountability. That's why I was taking out of there so quickly, that's why I was not taken to a hospital. But even if they've covered up any part of these events that occurred inside of the Edmonton remand Center, there will still be some records.

I know, this was a long time ago. I am a 45-year-old man now and this happened when I was 13 in 1983. The law does account for suppressed memories, and none more deserving than the suppressed memory Ive remembered.

I suffered my entire life emotionally with depression, I was plagued with addiction problems. I've paid for all kinds of sexual abuse therapies & psychologists my entire life because of the events I could remember. Now I have a whole new even worse memory to deal with. It is so sad to think that somebody is cruel enough to do this to a child. What were these people thinking putting a 13-year-old boy into an adult remand ?

Please, can you help me ? I want to file suit against these people so I can bring some closure to my life. I need for somebody to be held accountable for this criminal act against me. Criminally or civilly, or both. I am so tired of these memories killing me wrecking my life.

Everything, and I mean EVERYTHING, I have told you in this letter is 100% the truth. I have held nothing back, nothing. I really need somebody on my side that sees just how morally and legally wrong this really was. I am not overly wealthy, however you can be certain you are being paid for your time if you choose to help me, and I really need your help.

Thanking you in advance your considerations
