Fired prison manager-harasser gets new hearing
Fred Tobin, a married supervisor at a federal prison in Kingston, had an affair with a junior female employee who he then harassed. The woman was left terrified. When Tobin was convicted of criminal harassment, Corrections Canada fired him in 2004.
Five years later, they're having a hard time keeping him fired.
As a result of this court decision there'll be another hearing at which Tobin can fight to keep his good-paying CSC position. An adjudicator gave him the job back in this decision in 2007, ruling that although he had a criminal conviction, the bad stuff he did happened when he was off the clock, so his bosses had not shown that they were entitled to discipline Tobin.
Tobin, a psychologist, was the acting deputy warden at the Regional Treatment Centre when he first met the victim. The centre is a separate facility inside the walls of maximum-security Kingston Penitentiary where convicts are assessed and treated. After the woman broke off the affair, Tobin drove her off the road and threatened to kill her unless she resumed the relationship, according to the facts entered in court.
Tobin cut a deal with prosecutors.
He pleaded guilty to criminal harassment, and charges that he forcibly confined the woman and threatened to kill her, criminally intimidated her on a highway, criminally harassed her by stalking, and sexually assaulted her were dropped.
