A former paramedic is scheduled to be sentenced today after being convicted of sexually assaulting a 71-year-old woman in the bedroom of her rural Nova Scotia home.
James Duncan Keats is to appear in court in Windsor, N.S.
In June, a judge found Keats guilty of the 2013 assault, which occurred in the upstairs bedroom of the woman's home while Keats's partner tended to her ailing husband downstairs.
Judge Claudine MacDonald found Keats not guilty of a second charge of sexual assault involving the same woman in 2012.
Keats was also acquitted of two counts of breach of trust following a trial that began last September.
Crown attorney Bill Fergusson has said he will seek more than two years in jail for the sexual assault.
Note to readers: This is a corrected story. A previous version said a judge found Keats guilty in May.
