  "He was in jail on another matter. He wrote that his ex-wife's new boyfriend was molesting his 15-year-old daughter. Child protection and police checked twice — the girl was in no danger. He had prior convictions, including ones involving his ex-wife. A jury convicted him. Sentence: 18 months in jail.",
  "She accused her ex-partner of sexual assault. Then she claimed he had come to her door in breach of a no-contact order and showed a photo. He was arrested and spent three days in custody. Forensic analysis showed the photo was a picture of a flat image. The Crown later withdrew the sexual assault charge but did not rule out that something had happened between them.",
  "She pleaded guilty and had no record. Sentence: conditional discharge — no criminal record, a year of probation, 75 hours of community service."
