Immigration And Refugee: Refugee Status

Pike Lake Dept: But for residents of Vero Beach, Fla., Harvey is a fugitive, a sex offender and to many a victim of an unjust justice system, according to The Star. She is claiming refugee status to avoid being forced back to Florida, arguing the 30-year-sentence she received was too severe and for the past year, residents of Pike Lake, Sask., have come to know Denise Harvey as just another neighbour, an ordinary woman in a tightly knit community. Harvey, an American, fled to Canada with her husband last year after being sentenced to 30 years in prison for having sex with her son s 16-year-old friend. But the system caught up with her last week, when she was arrested by RCMP in Pike Lake. She made an appearance before an Immigration and Refugee Board adjudicator Monday and was released on a $5,000 bond. As reported in the news.
