THUNDER BAY — A sexual assault survivor in the city’s east end shared disturbing details of what took place in a building that was supposed to be a safe haven for children more than 40 years ago and the fear of coming forward.
Gilberds has pleaded not guilty two counts of indecent assault on a female and two counts of indecent assault on a male. “I would try to stick around the other people,” the complainant testified. “But the bathrooms were downstairs. He would already be downstairs and waiting or he would follow me downstairs.”
“I was crying all the way home,” the complainant testified. “[The railroad worker] picked me up and carried me a little way. He walked me right to my house and I told him I wasn’t going to tell my parents and if I get forced to tell my parents that I was going to kill myself. I was scared to tell anybody.”
