A well-known businessman in Happy Valley-Goose Bay is headed to jail. Pike was found guilty of two counts of sexual assault and one count of sexual interference, all relating to offences against the same complainant, dating back to 1996. The Crown asked for a sentence of six to eight months, while Pike's lawyer asked for four to six months' house arrest. Justice Frances Knickle said house arrest would be insufficient in this case because there was a high level of trust between Pike and his victim. She said Pike later apologized for the incident in the SUV and implored her to keep quiet about it, saying that speaking up would only hurt people she cared about.
