LeBlanc To Be Sentenced Today

A sentencing hearing will be held today for a 48-year-old Nova Scotia man who pleaded guilty to confining and sexually assaulting a teenage boy in Upper Chelsea last year. David James LeBlanc changed his pleas to guilty during an appearance last month in Supreme Court in Bridgewater. LeBlanc pleaded guilty to kidnapping, forcible confinement, sexual assault, uttering threats and breach of conditions. The Crown says LeBlanc held the 16-year-old boy against his will for a week before he escaped last September.
