CTV News: Ex-hostage Joshua Boyle arrested, charged with sex assault, forcible confinement
A Canadian man recently freed with his wife and young children after years of being held hostage in Afghanistan has been charged with at least a dozen offences, including sexual assault, his lawyer said Tuesday.
Joshua Boyle, 34, was arrested in Ottawa, his lawyer, Eric Granger, told The Canadian Press.
Ottawa police declined to provide any details on the case.
Boyle and his American wife, Caitlan Coleman, were taken hostage in 2012 by a Taliban-linked group while on a backpacking trip in Afghanistan. Coleman was pregnant at the time and the couple had three children in captivity.
Granger said the charges against Boyle also include assault and forcible confinement.

ReplyDelete"Honey, how about we go on a trip? Backpacking... I know you're pregnant and all, but a little physical exercise will do wonders... excited? Guess where we are going... Afghanistan!! Yeah, yeah, I know the sanitary issues, the insurgency and terrorism, and the terrible healthcare conditions, but what other place would you rather be?"
Guy is clearly not right in his head.
Anyone but the most naive liberals surprised?
