Convicted RNC Const. Sean Kelly to be sentenced Monday
A Corner Brook police officer convicted recently on a charge of mischief and making an indecent phone call is scheduled to be sentenced Monday by provincial court Judge Wayne Gorman.
A pre-sentence hearing took place Thursday for suspended RNC Const. Sean Kelly.
The Crown is asking that Kelly be sentenced to between three and six months in jail for the mischief charge, and one month for the indecent phone call charge.
Kelly's lawyer, Jamie Merrigan, argued that jail time would be dangerous for a police officer and is asking for house arrest of between four and seven months.
"There's nothing to suggest Kelly is a danger to the community," said Merrigan.
Kelly declined Thursday when asked by Gorman if he had anything to say to the court.
Kelly was convicted in February for making an indecent call to a woman in 2012 and for making false statements to mislead police.
He is currently suspended without pay. His status with the police force is being reviewed by the RNC Professional Standards Branch.
