Craig Jaret Hutchinson of Nova Scotia has been sentenced to 18 months in jail for poking holes in his girlfriend’s condoms.

He and his girlfriend had been dating for several months when things started to get a bit shaky. Thinking that the only way to keep her around was to get her pregnant, he poked holes in the condoms. And it worked- he got her pregnant.

A text message from November 6th of 2006 read: “I wanted a baby with you so bad, I sabotaged the condoms.”

The woman, only being identified as N.C., ended up getting an abortion and suffered “painful complications” for two weeks afterwards.

Hutchinson was convicted of sexual assault in December of 2011. He appealed the ruling at the Nova Scotia Court of Appeal, but the decision released on Thursday was 4-1 not in his favor. The sentence was deemed fit and stands.

This is considered reproductive coercion, a form of domestic violence, in quite a few US states. Other similar charges are birth control sabotage or reproductive rape.

I'm glad she wasn't stuck with his offspring.

if it was the otherway around she'd not be in trouble and he'd be paying child care

It was bad enough he did it but at least people like this could learn to keep their mouth shut over it. For the girls sake I'm glad he didn't but still......

Yup. Isn't that a b*tch? That gate needs to start swinging both ways.
