The Crown says one-time junior hockey coach Graham James should be sentenced to six years in prison for sexually assaulting two of his former players.
Colleen McDuff says the judge should take into account the effect the convicted pedophile had on his victims.
Retired NHL star Theo Fleury and Todd Holt have already told James’s sentencing hearing in Winnipeg how their lives were almost destroyed by what happened.
They said their experiences hurt their relationships, drove them to drinking and gave them sleepless nights for many years.
A psychiatrist’s report says James is indifferent and remote and “rarely responsive to the actions and feelings of others.”
James pleaded guilty in December to sexually abusing Fleury and Holt.
