A 33-year-old Saint John man who sexually preyed on underage teenage girls he friended on Facebook has been sentenced to seven years in prison. "He clearly identified and groomed through social media those who were vulnerable — vulnerable through their circumstances in life or vulnerable because of their age." In April, court had heard two of the underage victims had been first contacted by Orser through Facebook. Orser did not testify in his own defence and said he wanted to challenge some of the issues that came up, but Cloutier told him it was too late for that. He also told Orser his desire to reargue matters from his trial made him doubt the sincerity of his remorse.
