Stanley Tippett has been found guilty of kidnapping and sexually assaulting a 12-year-old Peterborough girl.
Tippett, a married father of five, was facing a total of seven charges, and was found guilty on all of them Wednesday.
Authorities found his young victim behind a Courtice school, in obvious distress, in the early morning hours of Aug. 6, 2008, about 70 kilometres from where she was abducted. Police said her attacker sped off when cops arrived and authorities gave chase, but ended the pursuit when it reached dangerous speeds.
Investigators found the suspect vehicle abandoned in Oshawa hours later and 33-year-old Stanley Tippett was arrested and charged shortly after.
On the night of the attack, the girl was walking along a Peterborough side street after a party with a companion when Tippett approached in a red van. He testified both kids got in the vehicle and that he dropped one girl off, but was carjacked by two armed teens and ditched in the country before he could take the second girl home.
Police claimed Tippett drove the girl to the Oshawa area where the assault occurred.
Tippett insisted all along he was robbed and carjacked that night. He said the bandits forced him out of his van on the side of Highway 115 in Peterborough with the victim passed out in the front seat.
His story, however, wouldn’t stand up in court and the Crown successfully argued that his version of events was fabricated.
