Quebec woman arrested in the Bahamas for allegedly having sex with a minor
MONTREAL — A reward trip for a job well done has turned into a legal nightmare for a Quebec mother of three who is in a Bahamas jail for the alleged sexual assault of a 15-year-old bearded boy she believed was an adult.
Karine Gagne’s mother, Chantale Auclair, says her daughter and the American boy had a sexual encounter on a cruise ship earlier this month, but insisted that Gagne thought the six-foot-plus adolescent was 18.
“She asked him how old he was and he told her he was 18,” Auclair told The Canadian Press on Thursday.
Gagne, 23, left Jan. 1 for a short cruise with her manager and colleagues for reaching certain sales objectives at a company that sells adult-themed products.
