In a deeply disturbing case that has sent shockwaves through the community of Halifax, William Frear has been sentenced to a substantial prison term of 13 and a half years for heinous crimes involving a young girl. The victim, a 10-year-old girl, endured a prolonged period of sexual abuse at the hands of Frear, with the assaults spanning several years and causing immense emotional and psychological trauma.

Details of the case reveal that Frear’s actions were not isolated incidents but part of a pattern of repeated abuse.

In his sentencing remarks, the judge emphasized the long-lasting trauma that victims of such abuse often endure, and he expressed his hope that the lengthy prison sentence would serve as a measure of justice for the victims and a warning to others.

The case has left the Halifax community grappling with the reality of such a heinous crime occurring within their midst. The sentencing marks a significant step in addressing the abuse and ensuring that justice is served for the young girl and her friends who suffered at the hands of William Frear.
