The teen who was assaulted by a Queen’s University student three years ago, when she was 16 years old, said it’s “ridiculous” that the school would invite her assailant to guest lecture during a business class.
Chance Macdonald, 23, who formerly attended school and played junior hockey, was convicted of assault in April 2017. However, he was not sentenced until September of that year because the judge presiding over the case, who also attended Queen’s and played hockey, did not want Macdonald’s sentence to interfere with his internship at Deloitte.
Macdonald, who was initially charged with sexual assault and forcible confinement, pleaded down to common assault. He was sentenced to 88 days of intermittent jail on weekends and two years of probation. After Macdonald’s sentencing made headlines last fall, Deloitte announced that he was no longer working for them, and his LinkedIn profile disappeared. Despite the university releasing a statement expressing dismay that Macdonald was a Queen’s student around the time he was sentenced, a faculty member at Queen’s invited Macdonald to speak to a business class in May.
