LETHBRIDGE – Sentencing has been put off once again for a 32-year-old Lethbridge man who pleaded guilty to counts of sexual interference in July 2018.

Cody Tyler Black Forehead appeared in Court of Queen’s Bench Monday morning, as an agent for his lawyer, Scott Hadford described the status of the case.

Wayne Hlady told the court that there had been an issue with Black Forehead’s Pre-Sentencing Report and the previous agreed statement of facts, and that Hadford had lined up independent legal counsel to have a look at it.

Hlady asked that the matter be adjourned until April 8.

Black Forehead remains out of custody on $2,000 bail.

Case History

In an agreed statement of facts, Black Forehead admitted that on Apr. 27, 2017, he met a 15-year-old boy on Facebook Messenger, and he invited the youth to go drinking with him. The youth agreed and brought another 15-year-old boy along.

After meeting at Black Forehead’s downtown apartment, the three started drinking alcohol and smoking marijuana that Black Forehead provided.

It was noted that he asked the youths what grade they were in – to which they responded Grade 9 – and one of the youths remembered saying he was 15 as well.

One of the youths reported that after becoming intoxicated, Black Forehead started kissing him and that he leaned away to avoid the contact. As the night progressed, Black Forehead performed sexual acts on both teens, and tried to get one of them to have sex with him.

The next morning the boys woke up naked and Black Forehead told them that they should do it again.

Both boys told authorities that they did not want to have sexual contact with Black Forehead.
