Trial of Mixed Martial Arts Fighters on Hold
Thursday, December 15, 2011 @ 3:57 AM
Prince George, B.C. – The Nova Scotia trial of two Prince George mixed martial arts fighters is on hold until March.
Garry Christopher Peak, and James Christopher Hanson are being tried in Provincial Court in Dartmouth Nova Scotia on charges of forcible confinement and aggravated sexual assault. The charges are in connection with an incident that occurred at the Hampton Inn and Suites hotel in Dartmouth in late September of 2009. A 34 year old woman says she was sexually assaulted and held against her will, after she and a friend had gone back to the hotel room of the two men.
The trial got underway in October, but after three days of testimony, it was clear it was not going to wrap up within the allotted time, so it was set to continue in December.
Problem with the continuation though as Peak was not able to make it back to Nova Scotia because he was in custody here in Prince George. He had been picked up for breaching the conditions of his release.
Although the Crown and Defence lawyers were prepared to move the trial ahead without Peak being present, the Judge wouldn’t go for it.
Instead, Judge Alanna Murphy has set the matter over to March 7th for a continuation of the trial.

Couple of scumbags that give martial Arts a bad name!!
They’ll end up walking because the courts will deem “it was not dealt with in a timely fashion” and throw it out. Civil suit will be the only option those 2 women will have then.
that`s why you`v got to stay away from those steroid monkeys,cause when they weenie shrinks it squeezes they`r brains…
Wow, ok first they are still going to trial and are innocent until proven guilty. Second, none of the defences evidence has been presented yet and it is extensive, they will walk but only because they are telling the truth.
“He had been picked up for breaching the conditions of his release.”
A solid law abiding citizen. Respectful of the law and the conditions of his release.
It’s all the fault of society, of course.
Mirabiledictu 34 what did the one girl do beat herself up so bad and sexually assault herself,that she ended up in the hospital?Give me a break,the only reason these two pieces of crap will walk,is because of the length of time before it goes to trial.
James Hanson is WELL known throughout P.G as a bully, a scumbag, an abuser of woman, and a guy with VERY Low morals!!
The girl is a crack whore and there is a video of what happened that night.
Ohhhh she’s an addict. Well that makes it alright, I guess she deserved it.
Innocent or guilty? Who knows. We will see. But just the fact that these young men are in this predicament probably tells you all you need to know about the types of people they associate with and situations they get themselves into.
In general, great upstanding citizens do not have stuff like this happen.
And to think that up until now MMA had such a great reputation of attracting high class people to its circles, LOL.
mirabiledictu34 You clearly know these 2 “high class citizens” so my guess is your not a whole lot better than them! So there having, in YOUR words, a CRACK WHORE come back to their hotel!? Your right…..they ARE good men LOL! James Hanson is WELL known in P.G for being a steroid monkey who beats up anyone he see’s fit to attack. He has hit woman before in P.G and Peak is a drug dealer well known to Police so I say, get ready for some Jail time boys, ya got it coming!!
