Ok..never mind me me me.....Here's her story-----
“The Alternative Measures Program is designed to divert individuals from the criminal court system while still holding accused persons responsible for their actions. ... When an individual is given a referral to the Alternative Measures Program, he or she must be willing to accept responsibility for the criminal charge.” I was told by crown prosecutor Hilary Drain in our meeting that I would be involved and have a say in chief Allan Polchies jr alternative measures program and if he did not finish or complete the program that on his court date in October he would not only be charged with assault he would be charged with sexual assault as well. I explained multiple times to Hilary Drain that what he did was sexual assault in the first place, she told me not to drive home wasted old men and it shouldn’t happen, I then told her that was my third time driving chief Allan polchies jr home but the first time he sexually assaulted me in front of my two friends, I also told her that he came to my nanny’s birthday party (which he never attend any other birthday parties of my nanny’s) making me feel uncomfortable in my own grandmothers house that I had to LEAVE! my aunt penny invited chief Allan polchies jr when she knew about everything that chief Allan polchies jr did to me from the very beginning. Why would she do that? Why does she still support the chief after what he did to her niece? She won’t give me an answer. I wanted this to be resolved in the community, for chief Allan polchies jr to take full responsibility for his actions and come to me for an apology. Tyler nason chief Allan polchies jr boyfriend apologized the next day after the incident but the chief can’t?I went to what I thought strong women were, penny Polches my aunt, Susan Sacobie and Gina brooks because my best friend wanted and knew in her heart her moms would want to help me or to give me some advice, they talked to me with care and told me something has to be done... did I ever hear anything that was going to be done? No, i assumed they went and talk to chief Allan polchies jr and dropped it all together. A week after the incident I went to someone who works with mental health and they led me in the right direction in coming forward to the police. I had chief Allan polchies jr personally call Ann Bilson from my “sisters of the drum” group and threaten her with “if jades plays at the AFN Gala, the drum group will not be performing”, Ann bilson calls me down to the smoke shop to come talk to her, I go down thinking it’s something about my ribbon skirt but she takes me outside and tells me “it’s a big deal we’re opening up for Jeremy dutcher”, “ we all need this “, “they don’t want you to play; they called and said if you play we can’t play and we need you to take one for the group” immediately I’m crying, how can they do that? I haven’t even went public. I didn’t know what to do, I went to my elder for advice, she was telling me to fight and stand up for myself and that I should go public because becoming public is letting people aware. I made my status after I left her house, after that my life changed. I got my position back after agreeing with Shasta Hitchcock that I would not protest or do anything that would affect chief Allan polchies jr role at the AFN Gala. Looking back I wish I didn’t perform or do anything for those people. Everything got worse from there, I have people who work in the band making posts about me, saying nasty things, making fake facebooks to post about me, slashing my tires, giving me dirty looks. Someone from my drum group even told me to “get over it” and i didn’t even bring it up, like how am I suppose to feel comfortable around my own people? Marvin Nash employee of st Mary’s band office said I should be ashamed to show my face around my community. Chief Allan polchies jr sent out a letter that I got on my doorstep basically saying innocent until proven guilty and that it’s not the first time someone discriminated against him because he’s gay.
Tj Burke even texting my mother saying he didn’t know it was me that chief Allan polchies jr assaulted, that’s coming from his own lawyer.
I lost friends because the community got divided along the way and now what? I’m trying to prove myself to who? I know what I did was right, Why did it feel completely wrong?
I called the diversion program six times leaving three different voicemails and she calls back a few weeks later explaining to me that she was on vacation and busy with other caseloads that she didn’t have time to call me back but had time to meet with chief Allan polchies jr to discuss his consequences. She then proceeded to tell me that he fully admits to assaulting me, I tried to tell her “well you were given orders by the head crown prosecutor Hilary drain that I would have a involvement” all I wanted was apology not only to me but the community for sending out that letter. I asked what was his agreement
1. Keep the peace
2. Make a donation to victim service
3. Write a reflection letter.
She told me I could write up a file complaint to the system but by then I already felt so hopeless. How could the system just do that? Let one walk away with a crime as big as any other? I now understand why females don’t come forward, the numbers are accurate and I’m just another statistic. The justice system failed me once again and I’m over it.
But I am not over holding chief Allan polchies jr accountable for his actions and you probably want to think well why? Well because any drunk intoxicated 50 year old man who sexually assaults a young sober women after just trying to help, needs to be hold accountable!! This isn’t the 80s or 90s era you don’t just go around touching young women!! Gay or not!!! Those are creepy predator vibes that we are trying to end, not support.
The justice system might have failed me, some of my community members might have failed me but chief Allan polchies jr if you are the leader you say you are then walk your talk! come forward, address the issues and find a solution for your behaviour because it’s been 9 months and I still haven’t heard any apology come from you.
To everyone who keeps adding their own lies to my situation.. This is my story..
