Member of the Order of Canada guilty of sexual assault

First Published:

A member of the Order of Canada has been found guilty of sexually assaulting children in Nepal.

Peter Dalglish, 62, is an aid worker from London, Ontario and could face at least 10 years in jail.

Dalglish was taken into custody at gunpoint last April. He was charged with sexually assaulting two boys – aged 11 and 14 – who police say were in his home when he was arrested.

Dalglish’s lawyer says they plan to appeal his conviction.
