(Saint John)-Former Saint John city councillor Donnie Snook pleaded guilty today in provincial court to two counts of sexual assault and two counts of sexual interference.
Snook was charged earlier this year after police in Newfoundland alleged he committed the offences against one boy who was under the age of 14.
Investigators said the offences occurred between Dec. 1, 1995, and August of 1996 at or near Mount Moriah, N.L., and at or near Barachois Pond Provincial Park.
The charges were transferred from Newfoundland to New Brunswick after Snook pleaded guilty in Saint John to 46 charges including sexual assault and possessing, distributing and making child pornography over a 12-year period.
Snook, was sentenced last month to 18 years in prison but he is appealing the sentence, saying it is unreasonable and in excess of the appropriate range.
