Got a creepy ex-boyfriend story? Hopefully it doesn't come close to this one. Craig Jaret Hutchinson is facing 18 months in jail after he pricked holes in his girlfriend's condoms. The girlfriend -- well ex-girlfriend these days -- ended up pregnant with a baby she never wanted and ended up getting an abortion.
Hutchinson, meanwhile, was hauled into court. He's been convicted on charges of sexual assault. What in heaven's name would make a guy think this was OK?
Apparently Hutchinson and the woman identified only as N.C. had been together nine months and things were getting a little rocky. He told cops in Nova Scotia he thought a baby would bring them back together.
So he forced her to have unprotected sex without her consent?
Not the answer, folks. Not even close. Obviously the key to any relationship is trust, and Hutchinson violated that one big time.
But this particular method -- sabotaging birth control -- is troubling because it stole away this woman's right to choose what happens to her own body. Sure, she said yes to sex, but she very deliberately made use of condoms because she was not ready for what results when having unprotected sex. And then she was stuck dealing with that aftermath anyway because her boyfriend was a sicko!
N.C. had to go through the heartwrenching decision of having an abortion she never should have had to have, an abortion she was actively trying to prevent just as she was trying to prevent pregnancy by using condoms.
What Hutchinson -- and really anyone -- needs to learn is that you can't make someone else's decisions for them. We have free will, free reign over our own bodies. Violating that is violating the most personal of human rights.
Does this qualify as a crime worth 18 months in jail in your book?

Good for her that she didn't allow anyone to bully her into having a baby she clearly didn't want. This guy has MEGA issues. This is the ultimate in creepy stalker behavior. All of you people that are saying "Well don't have sex." Yeah, so she's supposed to abstain from sex with the man she's in a relationship with just because there's a chance of her getting pregnant? That ladies is what CONDOMS ARE FOR and also why we have the options of birth control and if all else fails after having protective sex, abortion. None of these options are wrong and neither was she for trusting the man she obviousy loved. It's just unfortunate that he wasn't worthy of that trust.
Maybe the laws in novia scotia are different here and that's why he was charged with sexual assualt. Not all places follow the same guidelines and laws for convicting people of any type of crime.
They should both be in jail! Him for sexual assault and her for murder.
No even. Sort of an assault. She could have gotten pregnant even with intact condoms
IMO, she should have gone to jail for the abortion. Killing a baby isnt the right answer. She had plenty of other choices like ADOPTION!
He shouldn't have done it, however, this is not sexual assult. What if he hadn't poked holes in the condom and she had gotten pregnant anyway? Would he still be in jail? Of course not. If she wanted to gaureentee that she did not become pregnant, she should not have had sex. I have gotten pregnant with 2 children while on birth control (one with condoms and one with a 10 year IUD implant). I would have been pissed at this man for doing this, but I would not send him to jail for assult. That's just childish. She should take some of the blame upon herself and realize that no birth control is 100% safe.
