Overview

• Anthony Humby is on trial in St. John's facing more than 70 charges related to sexual violence against youth involving 12 alleged victims.
• Retired Sgt. Corinne James testified that she no longer stands by her 2007 decision not to charge Humby following a police interview.
• James said Humby told her in 2007 that a male partner produced identification showing he was 20, and she concluded at the time there were no grounds to lay charges.
• Weeks after that interview, an officer reported finding Humby driving on a remote road around 3 a.m. with three teenage boys, including a 13-year-old.
• Humby was arrested in April 2023 at age 62, and the case is being heard in provincial court with testimony reported by The Canadian Press.
