A trial date has been confirmed for a Quesnel man who is accused of abducting a 10-year old boy.
46-year old Jason Penner is due back in Supreme Court on the 27th of this month.
A Pre-trial conference was held yesterday. (Thursday)
Penner is charged with one count each of abduction of a person under 14 and abduction of a person under 16.
Quesnel RCMP received a report of a missing boy back in July of 2022.
Police said he was last seen riding his bike along Avery Avenue in West Quesnel at around 3-30 in the afternoon, and that they were told that he was seen in the company of an adult male who was also on a bicycle.
RCMP say they were able to identify the man and locate the boy safe the following morning at the mane’s residence.
