A British Columbia father who was in and out of court for five years pursuing legal attempts to stop his teenaged child from getting cross-sex hormones is celebrating after what he calls a “big win” in court.
In a decision delivered on Aug. 9, the B.C. Court of Appeal declared C.D., as he is known in court documents, would not have to pay a $30,000 fine or serve the remainder of a six-month jail sentence for criminal contempt. The charges related to the father’s public disclosure of names and details protected by a judge’s order. He spent 69 days in jail before being released on bail and was incarcerated one more day before his hearing on May 31.
